What must we do for the good of the neighbors

AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE? This question has been the driving force behind The Guthrie Clinic’s evolution over 115 years.

You know how extraordinary it is for a rural area like ours to have convenient access to stellar, comprehensive health care: from primary care and home health services to complex surgeries, advanced therapies, and intensive care — and so much more.

Guthrie believes you should have your care needs met right here, in your own neighborhood, at the same high level you’d find in an urban setting. No one should drive hours to have heart surgery, receive cancer therapy, be treated for a stroke, or have knee or hip replacement. It’s taxing on families, and every second counts when you face a life-threatening emergency. That’s why we’re so committed to keeping patient-centered, research-driven, physician-led health care homegrown.

At this moment, meeting that commitment requires more resources than ever before. Health care is in the midst of historic and accelerating change. Medical technology seems to advance by leaps and bounds every few months. Telemedicine and virtual tools are radically shifting how patients access care and how clinical teams work together. There’s no going back.

Health care systems nationwide have two choices: Lead the way, or consolidate with those who will. Guthrie chooses to lead.

Our founders intended that Guthrie would be here for good. Every generation has helped make that happen. Now it’s your turn. By supporting The Campaign for Guthrie, you will advance care locally, for the good of the people you care about, and also help create new models for delivering rural health care. You will bring Guthrie’s standard of excellence to every corner of our 12-county region — for the good of all.
