Supporting Healthy Communities
Community Health Needs Assessment
Partnering with Our Neighbors
Cuyuna Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is dedicated to enhancing the health of our community. We actively support various community events in the Cuyuna Lakes and Brainerd Lakes Area, as well as organizations that share our commitment.
Through CRMC’s community benefit program, qualifying non-profit organizations (501(c)(3)) can request financial support or other resources for health-related programs and events. These initiatives aim to positively impact the health of area residents and enhance community life.
CRMC focuses its community giving on promoting wellness, preventive care, and healthy lifestyles for youth and vulnerable families. We also strive to align corporate social responsibility initiatives with like-minded businesses and organizations that share our mission, vision, and values.
