Maria Parham Health has published its annual community benefit report for 2023, outlining the indirect impact it has on the community as well as the obvious impact to provide a variety of medical services and treatment available to patients.
The report outlines the various ways the hospital is working to support the health and economic vitality of the Henderson/Vance County community as part of its mission of making communities healthier®, according to hospital officials.
“As a leading healthcare provider in Henderson and Vance County, Maria Parham Health is committed to providing high-quality care close to home, investing in our region’s overall well-being and making a positive impact on those we serve,” said Bert Beard, chief executive officer of Maria Parham Health. “This year’s report highlights our continued efforts to provide compassionate care – both inside and outside our hospital walls,” Beard said.
In 2023, Maria Parham Health added 67 providers in anesthesiology, behavioral health, cardiology, family and emergency medicine, gastroenterology, genetic counseling, neurology, OB/GYN, oncology, orthopedics, pediatrics, psychiatry, radiology, wound care and more. Maria Parham Health also made more than $1.6 million in capital improvements, including an ultrasound machine for Women’s Health, new orthopedic workstations for blood testing and opening a new Franklin County physician office.
Additionally, Maria Parham Health donated nearly $63.6 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 where employees want to work. Last year, the hospital distributed more than $68 million in salaries, wages and benefits for its approximately 770 employees, while contributing more than $124,000 in professional development and tuition assistance to give all employees the opportunity to learn, grow and improve the care they provide their patients.
MPH also paid $13,279,020 in local and state taxes to support local organizations and activities like Shop with a Cop and Friends, The Salvation Army and McGregor Hall.
“We are proud to call Henderson and Vance County our home, and we feel incredibly grateful for the continued support of all those who entrust us with their care. Our success would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our providers, employees, and volunteers,” said Beard. “As we look ahead to the future, we are so excited to continue improving the ways we serve our neighbors and communities.”
