Our Mission We provide quality health services that meet the needs of our community. This simple statement has powerful undertones. It means that we will always be a work-in-progress. We will grow as the community grows in order to meet its needs. As new technologies evolve, we will utilize them. Together, we will do everything possible to be the medical center that Columbia, Lexington and surrounding communities deserve.
