If you want to improve or maintain your health, one of the best steps you can take is to set goals. Don’t know where to start? If you have Medicare, begin with a free Annual Wellness Visit! These visits are different than a typical appointment with your primary care provider. They are more of a conversation to find any risks to your health. You and your provider will also develop a plan to help keep you healthy in the years to come.

Pain management takes many forms, and in the last 10 years, we’ve made substantial efforts to increase opioid safety and approach pain management more holistically. Our latest partnership with CO*RE REMS will ensure every Adventist Health provider is certified as a safe opioid prescriber if prescription pain medications are the best option for a patient.

Over the past year, we have all persevered through a challenging time. Through it all, the safety and care that our healthcare heroes provided to the community remain the same. Adventist Health Delano would like to congratulate its entire team for receiving an A safety rating from The Leapfrog Group. We have earned the best safety rating because our nurses, providers and caregivers uphold the highest safety standards and produce results that are among the best. It means you are safe and lives are saved.
