Maria Parham Health today published its community benefit report for the 2025 calendar year. This annual report outlines the various ways the hospital is working to support the health and economic vitality of Henderson/Vance County as part of its mission of making communities healthier.
“Always striving to advance our mission is how we succeed as a community leader in Henderson/Vance County, and as a leader in our community, we are dedicated to supporting those who entrust us with their care, investing in our region’s overall well-being and making a positive impact on our region,” said Bert Beard, chief executive officer (CEO) of Maria Parham Health. “This year’s report highlights our continued commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care close to home.”
Maria Parham Health’s 2025 community benefit report highlights its continued efforts to meet the growing healthcare needs of its community through welcoming new providers, adding and expanding service lines and continually investing in its facilities and healthcare technology. For example, in 2025, Maria Parham Health added new providers in internal medicine, general surgery, gastroenterology, wound care, emergency and family medicine, psychiatry, cardiology and oncology; and made nearly $15.1 million in capital improvements, including an upgraded linear accelerator, the addition of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) services, new surgical technologies in orthopedics and urology, and the renovation of emergency departments in Henderson and Louisburg.
Additionally, Maria Parham Health provided more than $62.4 million in health services to those in need, demonstrating its continuous commitment to ensuring everyone has access to care, regardless of their ability to pay.
Maria Parham Health is also devoted to creating environments where providers want to practice and employees want to work. In 2025, the hospital distributed nearly $72.1 million in salaries, wages and benefits for its approximately 730 employees, while contributing more than $117,000 in professional development and tuition assistance so all its employees can have the opportunity to learn, grow and improve the care they provide their patients.
Last year, the organization paid $17,872,115 in local and state taxes, while also continuing its support of local activities and organizations committed to serving the region, including ACTS of Vance County, Henderson Family YMCA, McGregor Hall, and The Salvation Army.
“We are proud to call Henderson/Vance County our home and feel truly privileged to contribute to its well-being. We are also thankful for the hard work and dedication of our providers, employees and volunteers who make it all possible, “said Beard. “As we look ahead to the future, we are so excited to continue improving the way we serve our neighbors and communities.”
