Tanner Health is a nonprofit healthcare provider whose mission is to improve community health. 

Community health refers to the physical, mental and social well-being of people within a defined geographic area, shaped by access to care, environment and local resources. Community health focuses on improving health outcomes within a specific population or region, while public health addresses health trends, prevention and policy at a broader population level.  Serving a rural region, the organization recognizes that caring for patients also means caring for neighbors. 

The work of Tanner Health extends beyond individual care to broader public health efforts that support the region as a whole. By providing a continuum of care, recruiting physicians to the community and offering programs that address conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and much more, the organization supports long-term health and wellness while advancing health equity across the region.

In addition to traditional hospital services, Tanner Health addresses factors that influence health equity and contribute to health disparities. Efforts include addressing food insecurity, supporting safer environments for pedestrians and cyclists, and offering free, evidence-based programs to help individuals manage chronic disease and reduce health disparities.

Through these initiatives, Tanner Health demonstrates its commitment to impacting community health and improving quality of life across the region.
