We provide residents with access to the region's best hospitals, physicians, a nursing home, home care agency and other affiliates who believe that healthcare should be managed by local board members who live and work in the communities they serve. With the four hospitals, we strive to provide exceptional quality, safety and service. Each facility is the largest employer in its hometown and is rooted deeply in both the popular and economic culture of their communities. The vision is to be an integrated health care delivery system that provides premier care with a personal touch, no matter where one lives in the region. The physicians are listed together on the website so that everyone can find the appropriate physician for their health care needs, no matter where they live in the region. Many quality services are available in or near every community but additional advanced services may also be available at one of the affiliates. That's one of the greatest strengths of our health system.
