Welcome to LIFT
verywhere you look, people are taking steps to be
healthier. They’re walking trails, hitting the gym
and making great choices at the dinner table.
By paying attention to nutrition, exercise and preventive
care, you’re part of the momentum. You are helping to
build a fulfilling life for yourself—and a healthier region for
all of us.
Owensboro Health is on a mission to improve the
health of the communities we serve. Every day, our team
of more than 4,000 rolls up our sleeves to make healthcare
work for you, from Dixon to Tell City—and everywhere in
between. We are excited about this mission, and we
want to help you live your best life yet.
Lift is designed to educate and inspire
you along your health journey.
The publication is packed with
tips, features and the latest health
information, and we hope it will be
a welcome arrival in your mailbox
each season.
