Government Relations
ProMedica's Government Relations Department coordinates efforts between government officials, community stakeholders and departments within our hospitals to help craft policies that best serve our communities. We also work to ensure that you're a part of the discussions that affect your health through a variety of education and advocacy initiatives. Our GrassRoots Green program fosters involvement from Northwest Ohio communities through activities such as registration drives, community town hall meetings and candidate debates. ProMedica is also home to Fields of Green, an umbrella for several health and nutrition education programs.
