Steadfast in Service to Our Community
Community Benefit Report 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how interconnected we all are, the impact each one of us can have, and the benefit of working together for a common cause. Our team of caregivers set aside their own concerns about the virus to bravely provide care for their patients. Thanks to our physicians, nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, lab techs, housekeepers, food service workers and others on our team, more than 800,000 people received the medical care they needed in 2020.
We're also proud of other ways we provide community support - through our tax dollars, charitable contributions, and as an employer of local residents. We're glad our economic impact has a positive effect and helps improve the quality of life for all of our neighbors.
