Community Connections
 

Tell Us Your Story

Every day in America, you and your colleagues are working not just to mend bodies, but also to make people and their communities healthier.  Your work extends far beyond the four walls of a brick building-bringing free clinics, job training, smoking cessation classes, back-to-school immunizations, literacy programs and so many other resources, often with little fanfare, directly to the people of the community.

• Hospitals are making their communities healthier in ways that are as diverse as the needs of each community.  Share your hospital's story  with us by filling out this form.
