Our Purpose & Belief Aren’t Simply Words on a Page

Our mission, vision and core values are simple, but they clearly define who we are, what we stand for, how we interact with people, and why every one of us works at North Central Health Care — because we can make a difference in the lives of individuals in our community.

Our Mission: Langlade, Lincoln and Marathon Counties partnering together to provide compassionate and high-quality care for individuals and families with mental health, recovery and long-term care needs.

North Central Health Care has a deep history and relationship with our Central Wisconsin community. We are committed to our partnership with our three counties as we continually seek to provide the highest levels of accessible and specialized care for those we serve. Our person-centered service approach to the complex needs of those we serve and those we partner with are identical – we will meet you where you are at and walk with you on the journey together. Our programs and services provide compassionate and specialized care that is designed around each individual’s abilities and challenges – creating a path to move forward together.

Our Vision: Lives Enriched and Fulfilled.

Each interaction we have with those we serve, our community partners and each other will lead to lives that are more enriched and fulfilled. We face the world with undeterred optimism and hope of possibility. Every day a new chance to make people’s lives better. The vast potential to make a difference in each individual’s life is our greatest inspiration and measure of success.
