NorthWood Health System
Mission/Vision Statement
Northwood Health Systems’ mission is to be a world-class organization, dedicated to providing cost-effective, quality care for children, adolescents, adults, and senior citizens with emotional problems, intellectual disabilities, mental illness, and drug and alcohol addiction. We are committed to helping people achieve their highest possible quality of life.
In order to better accomplish this mission, Northwood periodically conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment to identify the behavioral health needs of its community, and develop programs, services, and strategies to help meet those needs. You can find Northwood’s three most recent Community Health Needs
Founding & Transformation
Founded in 1967, Northwood is a nonprofit behavioral health center providing a comprehensive continuum of care to serve citizens of Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, and Wetzel counties.
Beginning in April 1997, Northwood’s former CEO and turnaround specialist Pete Radakovich developed and implemented a multifaceted approach to transforming Northwood from a company on the verge of bankruptcy to a successful world-class organization. This multifaceted approach took years and hundreds of thousands of hours to implement, and included both revolutionary and evolutionary changes in the following areas:
- Development of Personnel
- Implementation of Management Infrastructure
- Transformation of Corporate Culture
