Our Goal
Southern Ohio Medical Center is dedicated to keeping our community healthy. We strive to do this by educating our community on the simple everyday things they can do to better their own personal wellness.
Community Health Needs Assessment Strategies
To meet current wellness needs, we travel to various communities in our region to deliver care in their own neighborhoods and surroundings. It is our goal to be the leaders in wellness for the communities we serve and aid them in making a difference in their lives for a healthy tomorrow.

Nutrition
You’ve probably heard, “you are what you eat”, but have you ever thought how much physical activity it takes to burn off that slice of pizza? Southern Ohio Medical Center is committed to help our communities ‘Eat Right’ and ‘Move More’ so that we can ‘Stay Healthy’.
