GreatNews.Life, Community Healthcare System expand good news partnership

Community Healthcare System has extended and expanded its partnership with GreatNews.Life (GNL), an effort that will continue to keep Northwest Indiana residents informed of the latest and greatest in local health news.

Community Healthcare System was one of the first organizations to partner with GNL in support of its mission to spread positivity through hyper-local content when the media company was founded in 2009. Since then, Community Healthcare System has continued to use and support the GNL’s networks and the communities it serves.

"Having Community Healthcare System as a part of the mission to spread positivity and share great news with the community has been incredibly encouraging,” said GNL founder Chris Mahlmann. “Both of our missions are based on working tirelessly to positively impact the community. Together, we have been able to deliver healthy and positive news, events, tips, fun things, and stories that support the community to the Region. We are proud to expand our partnership, and these networks of good are driven by positive relationships that last.”

Its new partnership will include sponsoring the search bar on all four sites, NWI.LifePortage.LifeValpo.Life, and LaPorteCounty.Life, allowing readers to easily search for great news anywhere, any time. The organization will also be the full site sponsor across the organization's sites in Lake and Porter counties, including NWI.Life, Portage.Life and Valpo.Life, a fitting addition considering the healthcare network’s dedication to education and information.

Community Healthcare System has shared hundreds of stories, releases, videos, events, seminars and health tips, all while demonstrating the mission-based care that they bring to Northwest Indiana residents every day. Through this partnership, Community Healthcare System has shared inspiring news with patient testimonials, helpful affordable health care options, expanded services and locations, and most importantly healthy practices through activity, nutrition, preventive care and good living.

“The partnership with GreatNews.Life has helped Community Healthcare System connect with Northwest Indiana residents and tell our story about our continued investment in the community,” said Marie Forszt, Vice President of Marketing and Health Information Management at Community Healthcare System. “Community Healthcare System is dedicated to recruiting highly skilled healthcare professionals, offering quality care and engaging with residents.”

The partnership between GNL and Community Healthcare System works to ensure the 90,000 readers across Northwest Indiana served by GNL have access to great news and information at one click and at no cost – something that would not be possible without partners like Community Healthcare System who believe in the mission of positivity and public access.  There are no subscriber fees or paywalls that stand between good people and good news, making it easy to “Read It, Love It, Share It.”

"Community Healthcare System has been a major pillar in the Region’s healthcare landscape for decades, and we are thrilled to continue and grow our partnership with them," said GNL Executive Director Jenny Craig-Brown. "This partnership allows our team of Lifers to bring even more positive news to the dozens of communities we serve and that truly is good news for us all."
