Mission Statement
We believe
 In making healthcare available to the community we serve
by removing geographic, transportation, financial and
cultural barriers to service.
 Lack of insurance or inability to pay should not be a barrier
to obtaining screenings, immunizations, wellness checks or
general medical care.
 Chronic diseases can be prevented with available low or nocost screenings.
 Collaboration with Munson Healthcare will provide for
seamless patient care with technology, resources, referrals
and diagnostic services for our clients.
 All nursing staff shall practice according to standards of
practice using evidenced based care and while advocating
for patient health and wellness.
