Excerpt from the Case Study

Lakewood Health System (LHS) harnesses its size and agility to inspire innovations that lead to a healthier, economically stronger region. With an emphasis on investing in mission rather than financial gain, LHS encourages all levels of staff to share ideas to improve the health and well-being of patients and the community.
