Community Health & Wellness at
Holzer Health Systems
At Holzer Health Systems, caring for the health needs of the community goes beyond providing exceptional care to our in-patients and out-patients. Better health is a matter of reaching out to the communities we serve. Education, support groups, and disease prevention comprise the core of our mission, but as you will see, the variety of services and events provided by the Health and Wellness Department at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis and Holzer Medical Center in Jackson are extensive and something new is always happening throughout the year.
To get a look at current community health events sponsored by Holzer Health Systems, please visit The Holzer Calendar. Our Support Group and Health Classes Calendar lists support groups and health classes open to the entire community.

Health & Safety Fairs

Senior Outreach Holzer Health Systems
A free service, Holzer Senior Outreach reaches out to isolated seniors, providing a telephone reassurance program, home assistance, and a health education loan library.
Telephone calls are made to seniors on a daily basis, reminding them to take their medication, to make sure they are safe, and for socialization. This routine contact often provides family members and caregivers with a sense of ease when the senior is alone in their home.
Learn more on about Senior Outreach or volunteering your time to help this worthy project.
