Local Community Health Contacts

Community Health

Northern Light Community Health uses non-clinical approaches for improving health, preventing disease, and advancing health equity by addressing underlying determinants of health in partnership with the communities we serve. 

Our approach to community health is

  • Community centered: We work with local communities to elevate their impact
  • Collaborative: We partner with community to understand and address priority needs
  • Evidence informed: We use proven interventions to create sustained change
  • Systems focused: We seek to improve systems which support communities of people
  • Evolving: We take a disciplined approach to improve community health and evaluate our effectiveness

Northern Light Health is a trusted partner working collaboratively with the communities we serve. Together, we better understand priority community health needs, co-develop evidence informed interventions, and achieve meaningful results.
