Dear Friends,
I am so pleased to welcome you to InterCommunity Health Care! We are a nonprofit community health center whose primary goal is to make quality health care easily accessible to every adult and child in our community. But what sets us apart from other health care organizations is how we provide that care – in a safe, equitable, non-judgmental and deeply caring atmosphere. In this way, we truly have changed the meaning of care.
As President and CEO of InterCommunity for over 20 years, I have witnessed our organization continually react and adapt to the changing health care needs of our community. Much has changed since our inception in 1977 as a behavioral health agency. In these 45 years, we have blossomed into a prominent health care organization of more than 400 staff who serve nearly 10,000 of our community’s most vulnerable adults and children each year. With an integrated approach to health care, we are able to treat the whole person by providing primary care, mental health care and addiction recovery services. The work that we do is truly life-changing for many and life-saving for some.
We have accomplished much, grown in leaps and bounds, and gained a reputation as a high quality, progressive health organization. At the same time, we understand that there is much work to be done and new avenues to be explored in expanding the ways in which we help people achieve and maintain their health. Our plans are ambitious and our future is bright. We are most grateful to the many individuals and community partners who join us in facilitating the innovative ways we care for everyone. We are indeed a community of caring!
We hope that you will peruse our website, get to know us better, and accompany us as we progress on the journey to change the meaning of care. And caring.
