Why This Is Important:
As a healthcare provider, we are in a unique position to positively impact the health of our employees and their families, using the same commitment to evidence-based best practice that we employ on behalf of our patients. And as the only hospital on the Monterey Peninsula , we believe it is critical that we lead by example. Therefore, we are also committed to developing evidence-based health promotion strategies and community partnerships with the goal of sharing our knowledge so that our success can be replicated elsewhere and the positive health impacts can be multiplied. We recognize that the long-term, sustainable delivery of healthcare to our community will require proactive health promotion, disease prevention, and disease management.
