Community Giving

Giving back

At Tidelands Health, we exist to deliver high-quality medical care to those we serve. But we believe our responsibility to our community stretches beyond the walls of our care locations. That belief is reflected in our mission statement: We help people live better lives through better health.

Improving community health

As a not-for-profit organization established by forward-looking community leaders more than 70 years ago, we believe we have a fundamental obligation to improve the region’s overall health.

Our efforts are expressed in many different ways but perhaps most notably through the work of our community health resources team.

These efforts include Tidelands Community Care Network and its leadership in a variety of proactive health-focused programs and initiatives. Established in 2012, Tidelands Community Care Network is public-private collaborative of area organizations working together to improve health care access for the uninsured and the underinsured. Since inception, it has helped thousands of people benefit from access to primary and specialty care providers, behavioral health visits and medication prescriptions.

Better health and, ultimately, a better life are achieved in myriad ways. Beyond our organization’s direct impact within the community, our mission also compels our support of dozens of community organizations and events designed to improve the quality of life in our region.

Over the years, our health system has donated millions of dollars in cash and in-kind gifts to numerous community organizations including the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Black River United Way, March of Dimes and many more.
