Greetings from Tahoe Forest Health System!
Dear Community,
One of the highlights of July was serving as the presenting sponsor of Truckee’s Fourth of July Parade. Through our Community Health and First Aid booths, we had the opportunity to connect with thousands of residents and visitors while providing health resources, sunscreen, water, and first aid support. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped represent Tahoe Forest Health System throughout the day.
As we look ahead, we have several milestones on the horizon. On July 27, our Wound Care program will relocate and become Tahoe Forest Multispecialty Clinic Advanced Wound Care. This move reflects our continued commitment to providing high-quality specialty care in a space designed to better serve our patients and support our clinical teams.
We’ll also celebrate the ribbon cutting for our new North Shore Clinic on August 21. The clinic represents an important step in expanding access to primary care for our North Lake Tahoe communities, and I look forward to recognizing everyone who helped bring this project to life.
Registration is now open for Beyond Possible, Tahoe Forest Health System’s inaugural thought leadership forum, featuring the Thomas D. Hobday Medical Lectureship, on September 25. This free community event will bring nationally recognized speakers together to explore resilience, innovation, and the future of healthcare. I hope you’ll join us and help spread the word throughout our community. Register now.
Thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to seeing many of you at these upcoming events and continuing to advance our mission of improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
Warmly,
Anna M. Roth, RN, MS, MPH
President & CEO

“Jocelyn is fantastic: so thorough, so informative and friendly and really guided our plan for next year or two. She couldn’t have been nicer or more professional! I always learn a lot too, which helps me understand the reasoning behind treatment. She’s the best, really!”
