Reid Community Health

Reid Health is dedicated to strengthening the health, safety, and well‑being of the communities we serve. Supported by a Health First Indiana grant from the Wayne County Health Department, along with funding from the Indiana Department of Health and the Ronald L. McDaniel Foundation, our Community Health programs emphasize prevention, education, and outreach.

These initiatives provide residents with practical tools, resources, and support to help them lead healthier lives. Our work is guided by the most recent Reid Health Community Health Needs Assessment and Implementation Strategy, ensuring that our efforts align with the most pressing needs of the region.

At its core, Community Health exists to support, educate, and connect individuals and families to the care and resources that help them thrive.
