TRUCKEE, Calif. – Tahoe Forest Health System is launching a listening tour this spring as part of its new True North initiative, a comprehensive community engagement effort aimed at shaping the organization’s future direction. This outreach initiative invites feedback from residents, patients, second homeowners, partners and staff to help guide TFHS’s next strategic plan. 
 
As part of this effort, TFHS will host a series of community meet-ups across the region to hear directly from those it serves. 
 
“We want to listen and learn from our community about what matters most when it comes to healthcare,” said Tahoe Forest Health System Chief Executive Officer Anna Roth. “Access to care, quality of services and how we continue to improve are key areas where your input will make a difference. These events are an opportunity for open dialogue—and we’re excited to have those conversations in a relaxed, local setting.”

  • Tahoe House, Tahoe City – March 23; 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
