Lincoln County Health System seeks to provide services that are economically viable, meet identifiable community needs, and can be offered in such a way and in such numbers as to meet recognized quality standards.

Lincoln County Health System will provide, respect, and support the right of our customers to optimal pain assessment and management. We believe that optimal management of pain enhances healing and promotes both physical and psychological wellness.

Lincoln County Health System is committed to the promotion of patient safety and the dignified use of restraints. As a last resort, restraints are to be used in emergencies, based on individually-assessed needs. When restraints are used, the patient's health and safety are protected while preserving his or her dignity, rights, and well-being.

Lincoln County Health System operates a not-for-profit Health System governed by the Lincoln County Health System Committee, appointed by and responsible to Lincoln County Commissioners.
