Defining Our Promise and It's Benefit to the Community

Community benefit includes programs or activities that provide treatment or promote health and healing as a response to identified community needs – and meet at least one of these objectives:

  • Improve access to healthcare services
  • Enhance the health of the community
  • Advance medical or health knowledge
  • Relieve or reduce the burden on government entities to provide health services

Catawba Valley Health System’s community benefit includes a large number of programs, such as unreimbursed health services to individuals without insurance, or with Medicaid and Medicare coverage, community health education, community health services, partnerships with other organizations to provide outreach services, support groups, community health education, community events and screenings, and participation in medical research and academic health programs.

Investment in the community – by the numbers​

In 2018, Catawba Valley Health System provided more than $30 million in community benefit.*

The community benefit report is based on contributions in Fiscal Year 2018 (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018) as prepared in accordance with the North Carolina Hospital Association Reporting Guidelines.
