Our Vision
At Ocean Health Initiatives, Inc. (OHI), we pursue a vision in which all people, regardless of financial ability have easy access to affordable and high-quality healthcare throughout their lives.
We aim to establish a network of health centers throughout our service area that offers comprehensive primary care services to anyone who needs them, spanning all stages of life and a variety of medical disciplines. This vision will be carried out by an informed, courteous, and diligent staff who share in our goals for the community. By equipping our health centers with state-of-the-art medical technology and our staff with consistently updated medical training, we strive to be innovators in the healthcare industry. Our focus extends beyond addressing the physical needs of our patients, but includes guiding them to be more educated on their health and more comfortable with accessing our services.
OHI puts its patients first by anticipating the needs for the communities we serve and devising programs and services that address these needs, thereby preventing chronic and debilitating diseases. To do this, our vision is pursued with support from federal, state, and local governments, community leaders, and other agencies and organizations that have similar aspirations for a healthy society.
At the core of our vision lies the elimination of all barriers preventing people from accessing the care that they need. At OHI, we prioritize those who have difficulty receiving care or are outright forgotten by other healthcare organizations — the poor, the weak, and the vulnerable. We want all children, all elders, and all neighbors to live better lives without being burdened by pain or disease, but liberated through health and wellness. This is the vision we aim to establish for our communities of today and for our children tomorrow.

OHI is a Community Health Center (CHC), receives HHS funding and has Federal Public Health Service (PHS) deemed status with respect to certain health or health-related claims, including medical malpractice claims, for itself and its covered individuals.
