Creating a Healthier Valley for Us All
Our mission of bettering the lives of all those we serve requires more than just medical care. It means working beyond hospital walls to partner with community groups who are feeding the poor, educating new moms about prenatal care and helping meet the basic needs of the homeless. It means investing to attract the brightest medical minds, to expand horizons for children and to enhance support services for patients and families.
In fiscal year 2023, Community Health System provided $168.7 million in uncompensated care, medical education, outreach and patient support services to create a healthier Valley for us all. Learn more in our Community Benefit Report.
