Back to Early Summer 2023
Supporting a healthy community
CMH unveiled its new strategic plan, including a new mission and vision, in 2023 — along with five goals for the next five years:
- Provide the highest-quality, safest care
- Grow health care services to meet the region's needs
- Improve community health and wellness
- Remain the best place to work
- Ensure long-term financial health
This spring, CMH was proud to be the Grand Slam Supporter to help resurface the tennis and basketball courts at Fred Lindstrom (Peter Pan) Park in Astoria, in addition to helping add four new pickleball courts.
This support ties in to the new CMH mission statement, announced earlier this year: "We help people live their healthiest lives." Donating toward the sports courts also falls within one of the five goals: to improve community health and wellness.
To enhance the courts, a group of local pickleball players formed an advocacy group, Sports Serve Astoria, to launch a capital campaign. They have worked closely with Astoria Parks and Recreation and its foundation, with the aim of completing the project this summer. Their goal is to transform the park into a first-rate athletic venue for pickleball, tennis and basketball players of all ages and ability levels to enjoy. More than $50,000 has been raised so far, with the city looking at grant funding to pay for any outstanding costs.
