Ambulatory Network Strategy

Ambulatory Network Strategy

As the U.S. healthcare landscape shifts from inpatient to outpatient services, we recognize the need to redefine accessible, high-quality care outside of the traditional hospital setting.

Over the past five years, hospitals have been cutting costs and consolidating services. By 2030, the demand for outpatient care will be even more significant. To meet this challenge, we've spent six months gathering insights from physicians, clinicians, team members, board members, and community leaders to understand how we can best serve the North Bay region.

Our Goals

  • Expand Our Network

  • Lead in Innovation and Technology

The Path to 2030: Our Key Commitments

  • Community Partnerships

    Collaborate with partners to provide preventative health screenings and wellness education in various languages, meeting the diverse needs of our community.

    Over the next six years, we will invest over $250 million to expand our ANS, enriching the neighborhoods we serve.
