Community Health Needs Assessment

Access to nutritious foods, economic opportunities and growth for our communities is fundamental in shaping our future.

Our hope is to understand the needs of our community and provide optimal care across the continuum. By addressing and meeting the needs of our community, Lakeland HealthCare is making Berrien County and the surrounding areas a better place to live and grow.
