Community Resources
Helping You Make Healthy Choices
Copley Hospital may be a small hospital, but it is a big part of our community. And as one of the largest year-round employers in the area, we encourage our employees to use these resources.
Community Events + Programs
At Copley, community wellness takes many different forms. From birthing classes to flu vaccine clinics, to healthy living workshops, Copley Hospital’s Wellness Center provides a variety of health improvement services to help people of all ages personally manage their health. We work with area businesses to design programs to motivate healthier lifestyles for employees and provide a healthier workforce for employers.
