Unlocking Opportunities. Opening Doors To A Healthier Community. YOU are the key to our success!
Improving the patient experience and advancing primary care, disease prevention, wellness programming, mental health, addiction treatment, and recovery all contribute to the overall health and wellness of our great region.
We are excited to have embarked on a $12M Capital Campaign, “Opening Doors to a Healthier Community.”
Collectively, we seek to:
- Improve our facilities that are old, outdated, and restrict the seamless flow of services by creating space for collaborative care in a warm, modern environment that promotes dignity and overall wellness.
- Expand our ability to serve children, families, and individuals who lack access to health care services that are available in the neighborhoods where they live.
- Offer an array of health care services that treat the whole person, and the entire family.
- Retain and attract the most compassionate, innovative, and experienced team members in the health care field.
Since opening our doors in 1971, Whitney Young Health has been committed to providing equitable, accessible, quality health care to meet the ever-changing needs of our Capital Region community and beyond.
