Giving Back to Our Communities

Reinvesting in improved facilities, education, outreach and more

Parkview Health’s mission centers on improving health and inspiring well-being in the communities we serve. As a not-for-profit organization, Parkview reinvests its resources into services and programs that directly impact the health and well-being of people of all ages. Parkview’s Community Health Improvement (CHI) program helps accomplish this mission. Funded by a significant percentage of Parkview’s net operating surplus, CHI initiatives extend beyond the hospital walls to support community programs throughout northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. Parkview gives back to the community in the form of improved facilities, education and outreach programs, free and discounted medical care, volunteerism and more.
