Novant Health exists to improve the health of the communities we serve, one person at a time. We accomplish that mission by providing excellent hospitals, physician clinics and outpatient centers, and also by making a commitment to community outreach and service. In 2011, our organization’s community benefit totaled $567 million. This commitment includes the cost of hundreds of programs that serve our patients, neighbors and some of our communities’ most vulnerable citizens including:
- Charity care and other patient financial assistance
- Our financial commitment to providing unreimbursed health services to individuals with Medicaid and Medicare coverage
- Community health education
- Medical services that lose money but are important for the community
- Support groups; partnerships with other organizations to provide outreach services
- Community events and screenings
- Our participation in medical research
- Academic health programs
- Other community initiatives
We’re proud of our not-for-profit heritage and the commitment of our staff to improve the health of our neighborhoods and communities.
