Our mission is to provide high quality preventative and episodic care to our patients. We feel that patients should take an active role, along with their physician, in the development and maintenance of their health care plan. Crystal Lake Clinic emphasizes preventative care for all age groups.
Our Purpose: Crystal Lake Clinic embraces a health system where individuals are respected and engaged in the design and delivery of care. Our healthcare providers and patients work together to advance comprehensive, quality and compassionate patient-centered care.
Who We Are? Through the Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC), we want to establish a better understanding of the patient care experience. Each team member will be empowered and have access to the tools to support the engagement of patients and family members in all areas of our work. This knowledge and insight will positively influence our goal, making healthcare in our region the nation’s best.
