PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT FROM THE NORTHERN LIGHT HEALTH ANNUAL REPORT 2023 TO THE COMMUNITY FOR DETAIL OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROJECTS AT NLH MEMBERS:NORTHERN LIGHT HEALTHANNUAL REPORT 2023HOW ARE YOU?HOW ARE YOU IS A SIMPLE QUESTION THAT WE ASK MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY, BUT ITS ALSO A QUESTION THAT GOES BEYOND CONVERSATION, AN EXPRESSION OF GENUINE CARE AND INTEREST IN THE WELLBEING OF OTHERS. ITS A FOUNDATION OF THE DEEPER, MORE MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS WE BUILD WITH OUR EMPLOYEES, PATIENTS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND OTHERS. WE HOPE THIS ANNUAL REPORT ILLUSTRATES HOW THIS QUESTION, WHILE AT THE HEART OF OUR CHARACTER, IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE GUIDE OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH THE HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE. THIS YEAR, WE HIGHLIGHT WAYS OUR INCREDIBLE EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE WE ARE MAKING HEALTHCARE WORK FOR ALL PEOPLE IN MAINE. FROM A NURSE WHO PROVIDES HEALING CARE IN THE HOSPITAL AND NOURISHING FOOD IN A RESTAURANT, TO HELPING COMMUNITY MEMBERS COMBAT OPIOID USE DISORDER WITH NARCAN TRAINING.OUR COMMITMENT EXTENDS WELL BEYOND THE WALLS OF OUR FACILITIES; WE ARE TRAINING COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID AND ARE COLLABORATING WITH OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO PROMOTE HEALTH EDUCATION AND HELP CREATE A HEALTHIER MAINE. WE EXTEND OUR GRATITUDE TO OUR DEDICATED STAFF AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND TO THE PEOPLE OF MAINE WHO PLACE THEIR TRUST IN US. WE HOPE YOU TAKE A MOMENT TO ASK, HOW ARE YOU? AND SEE HOW INCORPORATING THIS SIMPLE BUT MEANINGFUL QUESTION INTO YOUR DAILY INTERACTIONS CAN POSITIVELY AFFECT OUR RELATIONSHIPS AND CREATE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS.WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE 2023 ANNUAL REPORT.TIMOTHY J.
