Community Impact

Healthcare is the cornerstone of our communities

Beyond the care provided by its residents, healthcare services drive local economies and account for an extensive array of job opportunities. Healthcare is the foundation upon which communities achieve healthy status in its broadest terms. 

The core of a viable healthcare system is its workers. They need to be well-trained and continuously supported. Most importantly, there needs to be enough of them.
