"Reid has truly become an integrated health system as we have changed and adapted to unprecedented challenges being experienced across the nation," said Craig Kinyon, Reid President/CEO. Kinyon said the name change is in line with regional and national trends, noting that Reid remains an independent health system, with no plans to merge with other organizations.
"Reid" and "Health" have been in the name since 1992, but the new name puts less focus on "hospital" care and more on keeping patients well through regular screenings and checkups.
"We want to engage people while they are well and do everything we can to help them maintain their health by encouraging regular well visits, appropriate screenings such as mammograms and other tests designed to catch problems in the early, more treatable stages," said Kinyon.
