Healthy Foundations Magazine

Healthy Foundations is a quarterly publication of Bethesda Hospital Inc. and Bethesda Foundation Inc. Our goal in producing Healthy Foundations is to provide a flavor of the many activities that occur every day at Bethesda, large or small, to improve the health of our community. We also value the importance of staying in touch and are committed to updating you on projects, services and resources to aid you in your continuing quest for healthier living.

In addition to feature articles and the "Health Beat" and "Foundation News" departments, we are also pleased to share news about Bethesda North Hospital that extends beyond patient care, new technologies, surgeries and emergency visits. Our "Above and Beyond" department provides a glimpse into the news and activities that continue to define Bethesda North Hospital as a leading comprehensive medical center.

Promoting health in the community continues to be as important to Bethesda today as it was more than 100 years ago when the German Methodist deaconesses first administered their special blend of door-to-door health care in a growing Cincinnati community. We are proud to continue this tradition of community outreach by once again bringing health care to your doorstep…through Healthy Foundations.
