Our Mission: To improve the health of the people and communities we serve.
INTEGRIS Grove General Hospital has always been community orientated since November of 1963. If it were not for the community's support, Grove General Hospital would not have opened its doors.
Today, INTEGRIS Grove General Hospital continues to provide a wide variety of community outreach programs. In addition, employees of INTEGRIS Grove give thousands of hours participating on local boards and councils including, but not limited to, the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce, Grove City Council, Delaware County Community Partnership, Grove Education Foundation for Excellence, Delaware County United Way and the Delaware County Children's Special Advocacy Network.
INTEGRIS Grove's Health Connections coordinates all the community outreach programs. A brief summary is listed below.
