Mission
The health initiative was created out of a collaboration by canton-potsdam hospital and claxton-hepburn medical center. Leaders from these institutions brought together over 200 individuals - representing a broad spectrum of the community, including health, human service, business, government and educatino - to conduct a thorough assessment of health in st. Lawrence county. The steering committee identified three health priority areas that needed to be addressed county-wide: access to care; nutrition and physicial activity, and; substance use, focusing on youth tobacco use. The agency was incorporated in 1999 as a free-standing 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization to secure resources and programming to address the identified priorities
