This community hospital has served its community for more than 125 years, and is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable care environment. For example, it recently renamed its women’s health/mother-baby services to pregnancy and newborn services to ensure an inclusive culture at all stages of the care continuum. The hospital offers educational opportunities for area students, partners with a local furniture store to provide mattresses to residents of a nearby low-income housing complex, and works to address negative impacts to health, such as homelessness, through a program that provides treatment to those with housing insecurities. The hospital’s efforts have been recognized nationally, including earning a 5-star quality rating from CMS and being named the No. 2 hospital nationwide on Newsweek’s Excellence 1000 Index for 2024.
