That means helping you become informed about your health, and providing you with easy access to all the services at Civista Medical Center.

With that goal in mind, we are pleased to announce the launch of the new Civista Health website. We’ve worked very hard to include the kind of information our community needs to take charge of their own health, and to get all the information they need about the medical center. From the new health resources page, which provides brief and easy-to-understand articles about almost every health concern, to presenting the latest health news, the new Civista website is your portal to good health.

You can use the new Civista website to find a doctor in our network, get a downloadable welcome kit for those who will be patients at the medical center, send a card to a patient, and view our newest arrivals at our Online Nursery. We’ve also provided a new section of videos where you can watch our staffers share their experiences, watch patient testimonials, and even take a video tour of our brand-new facility. And you can now see the up-to-date health education class schedule and all upcoming events.

We sincerely hope you enjoy our new website. We’ve designed it to be engaging, informative, helpful, and easy to use. We’ll be writing new entries to our blog each week to share Civista news with the community, and we’d love to hear your feedback. Good Health Starts Here at the new Civista website.

Best Wishes for a Healthy November!
