North Central Health Care

North Central Health Care provides compassionate and high quality care for individuals and families with mental health, recovery and skilled nursing needs to people of all ages in Marathon, Lincoln and Langlade Counties in Central Wisconsin. Appreciating the diverse challenges we all face, care is provided to each individual based on their unique interests, abilities and needs to deliver the quality of life each person deserves.

North Central Health Care is governed by a board of directors appointed by representatives from Langlade, Lincoln and Marathon counties, composed of elected officials from the three counties, community appointees and includes at least one consumer of our services.

Many of our programs benefit from the generous contributions of volunteers from our communities. Our volunteers are committed to providing quality services for those we serve at North Central Health Care. Our programs are aimed at creating a warm friendly home-like environment with a genuine concern for the dignity and special needs of each individual.
