Dear North State Community Members:
Welcome to Be Well, where we write about ways
to keep you in good health. In this issue, you’ll
find stories about some of our programs, such as
our new community clinic. You’ll meet one of our
NICU heroes and discover the Catherine McAuley
Circles—plus so much more.
When we write Be Well, we always strive to live
up to the title. After all, being well is about more
than just knowing where to go for health care. It’s
about understanding the options available to you and your family.
At Dignity Health North State, our goal is to help everyone in our com-
munity, not only by sharing but also by listening. We understand that
strong communication about you and your health is just as important as
the state-of-the-art equipment that our hospitals provide for treatments,
just as important as the care we provide. It’s all part of our mission, and
we appreciate the trust you place in us for all of your health needs.
If you’ve recently been admitted to any of our facilities—Mercy
Medical Center Redding, St. Elizabeth Community Hospital, Mercy
Medical Center Mt. Shasta, or one of our clinics or medical group
practices—I encourage you to register for our online patient center,
which allows you to securely review your medical information. This
includes care instructions, current medications, and more. As always,
I invite you to visit our websites for more information about your health
and to enjoy this spring issue.
It’s all part of helping you Be Well.
Sincerely,
Mark Korth
President, Dignity Health North State
