One of the very important ways in which we do this is through programs like Kohl's CARDIAC Kids. A new partnership between CoxHealth, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and Kohl's Cares identifies children at risk for obesity and heart disease, and teaches them and their families how to create a healthier lifestyle. By working with our community partners, we can help build a healthier community. CoxHealth is proud to offer the latest in medical technology and services to improve our community's health status. Despite significant innovations, however, there are still community needs that are not met through our regular course of care. That is why as Springfield's only community-owned, not-for-profit hospital, we provide the kind of care and programs that are needed to serve many of the most vulnerable in our communities – the underinsured and uninsured. Your experts, friends, neighbors. 13
