Community Benefit

Meeting Community Needs

As part of a nonprofit, Catholic health care ministry, Saint Mary's is committed to assessing and responding to the needs of our community. We do this through programs and activities that promote health and healing — also called Community Benefit. For more information on this, visit the Catholic Health Association.

Some of our Community Benefit programs include:

  • The Pharmaceutical Assistance Program, which provides assistance to people in our area who don't have the resources to get the prescriptions they need.

  • Uncompensated Care, which allows patients who can't afford to pay for medical treatment receive the services they need to heal.

  • Advocacy. Through its Lead the Way campaign, Trinity Health is encouraging our nation's leaders to work toward a system that provides affordable coverage and high-value, coordinated care to every patient. Learn more about the campaign.
