As a community hospital organization everything we do is designed solely to serve the health and wellness needs of the people who live and work in the surrounding cities and towns. To achieve this, we keep a watchful eye on our patients, friends and neighbors by reaching out in hundreds of ways, such as through:

• Patient surveys

• Community-wide surveys

• Voluntary staff participation in community activities and events

• Corporate partnerships with local businesses and organizations

• Corporate sponsorship of school athletic teams

• The provision of first aid services at festivals, fairs and other community events

• The provision of sports medicine services at junior high and high school sporting events

• The provision of 850 community health education classes and support group meetings, most at no charge

• Financial and in-kind contributions to community charities

• Participation on boards and committees for community agencies and organizations.

For North Oaks, "community" is more than a word.

It is our way of life.
