COMMUNITY

MATTERS TO US

 

 

In the quest for health and wellness, we cannot ignore the social fabric that weaves our communities together. The health of our communities is more than just the absence of disease; it is the presence of hope, love, and mutual support. As an acute care surgery team, we recognize the role we play in shaping the health of our community. It is our duty to not only treat physical illness but also to address the social drivers of health that impact the well-being of our neighbors. For a true and lasting impact, we must create a community that prioritizes all issues that impact health.
