Welcome to the LVCHO!

What We Do

“What we do is not direct service, rather we provide a F.A.C.E (Facilitate, Assess, Convene and Educate) for the community healthcare system.”
Steve McDowell, Executive Director

Our Mission and Values

Our mission is to improve the health of the community by assuring local access to a coordinated system of health promotion, disease prevention, and treatment services

We believe that important health issues and concerns should be discussed in a community forum and that healthcare decisions should be made locally by a diverse group of stakeholders including but not limited to employers, health care providers, community and public health professionals, educators, and community leaders who represent the diverse cultural perspectives in the community. Improvements in community health status are best achieved through collaboration among all stakeholders, special efforts must be made to improve access to health care services for medically indigent in the community
