It is the mission of Southern Tier Health Care System, Inc. to improve the health and wellness of the rural communities we serve.STHCS was established in 1994 as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, membership-driven organization headquartered in downtown Olean, NY. We were one of the state’s first four rural health networks, a group that has grown since to include more than 30 networks designated by the NYS Department of Health. Our members include area hospitals, physician groups, county health departments, home care providers and ambulatory medical services. We work with community partners to build programs and initiatives based on local needs.​Our ever-evolving programs include the Southern Tier Emergency Medical System (STEMS), Southern Tier Overdose Prevention Program (STOPP) and Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) program. Respectively, these cornerstones train and credential a network of 93 local EMS agencies, provide overdose resources and education, and care for survivors of sexual assault. We offer navigation assistance for those seeking affordable health insurance and also to caregivers of older adults.

These include general safety themes; child health and safety; responsible prescription drug disposal; suicide prevention and mental health first aid; elder care for falls prevention, dementia and other chronic conditions; and community planning.
