Important Update: Northern Light Health has reached a new agreement with Anthem for continued participation in their commercial and Medicare Advantage plans. This means patients with Anthem insurance can continue to access the Northern Light Health providers at in-network rates. This new agreement will be applied retroactively to November 1, 2025 so there is no disruption in patient care.
This new agreement allows patients to have the choice to remain with the Northern Light Health providers and facilities they know and trust. We will be reaching out to patients this week to let them know their in-network access will continue without interruption.

Our employees rock! Not only do they work hard every day within the halls of Northern Light Health, but then they do some amazing things outside of work!

Morgan refs field hockey in her spare time. There are so few people willing to be refs that without people like Morgan stepping up, our student athletes' games would be cancelled. She believes in being involved in the community where she lives, where her kids play sports, and where she takes care of patients.

Let's give a thumbs up 👍to our teams who care for the community inside and outside of our facilities!

Are you struggling with adulting, or is it ADHD? People with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will tell you that they remember and forget their To Do list a dozen times a day. They set reminders to start tasks, recall the need to complete their plans, then promptly forget… again and again. The cycle can be difficult to break, and adults who suffer from ADHD may feel a great amount of shame and frustration at not being able to “adult” properly, but this condition is not a shortcoming, it is a neurodevelopmental disorder.
