Regional specialties | Community commitment | Initiatives | Technology | Our people

It is not enough that we are prepared to treat those who have health problems. Our goal is to help our neighbors stay healthy. It is important that prevention, charitable care, support groups, and educational resources are available.

Therefore, Altoona Regional dedicates its resources, talents and skills to improving the health of our communities through community education, the effective promotion of prevention and wellness, and by providing comprehensive, integrated and cooperative health services.

Here are a few key ways we put those words into action:

Our Healthy Living Club is an expansive community "affinity group," for everyone 18 and older, to promote health and wellness.

We offer more than 30 support groups for specific health problems.

Our drug and alcohol services include education, rehabilitation and outpatient programs.

And annually we:

Sponsor more than 100 communitywide educational programs.

Provide almost $5 million in free care for the needy.

Offer numerous community health screenings.

Support a variety of civic and cultural organizations and events.
