HEALTHIER
A free program for adults
50 and beyond As I reflect on the last year, my thoughts gravitate towards my colleagues. I admire the compassion and commitment our physicians, nurses and employees have for our patients. SIH has changed, a lot in fact, over the last decade alone. We morphed from a three-hospital organization into a sophisticated regional health network, which today includes a comprehensive cancer center and a group of doctors and specialists spanning the southern third of the state. Through this evolution, the steadfast strength of the people of SIH – 3,700 individuals strong - paved the way for accredited, nationally recognized care in cardiac, cancer, stroke, orthopedic and rehabilitation services, to name just a few. Now, a concerted healthcare effort is underway that concentrates on keeping the people in our community healthy and living well. By being an active Second Act member, you are an inspiration to others. I applaud you for taking a role in learning about your health and doing your part to get the most out of this life. Together we make a strong team. Thank you for trusting us with your care. Your loyalty helps us grow and provide newer services right here in southern Illinois. Sincerely, Rex Budde President & CEO FIND US ON FACEBOOK Join our private Facebook group.
