Community Resources

At Tanner, we often see patients in our rural communities struggle to access the health care, nutrition and services they need to thrive. Because where you live impacts how you live, Get Healthy, Live Well partners with community stakeholders to build stronger rural communities, close the health equity gap and develop cities that encourage active living.
