Community Connections
Across the country, hospitals are improving the health of their communities and finding new and innovative strategies to support individuals in reaching their highest potential for health.

Many factors combine together to affect the health of individuals and communities.

Read on for examples of just some of the ways hospitals and health systems are working with their communities in varied and innovative ways to improve health.
