FORM 990, PART III, PROGRAM SERVICES Community Benefits Mission Statement Improve the overall health status of Underserved Greater Lowell (CHNA-10) Residents through a proactive response to multifaceted healthcare needs: with a strong focus on prevention, follow-up care, wellness, and community and professional education. Saints is committed to treating members of our community with dignity, respect and compassion.
