Community
Benefit
Fulfilling our mission as a not-for-profit
health care system means providing medical care at no cost for those
unable to pay. It also means contributing important health services to our
community and supporting other not-for-profit organizations that provide
medical and social services.
We focus our community contributions and efforts in four key areas:
charity care, community outreach services, health professionals’ education
and research and civic contributions. We quantify those totals and report
them to the community each year.
In addition, many people are not aware that St. John’s pays a significant
amount of real estate and property tax each year and has one of the
largest tax assessments in Greene County.
In short, St. John’s has been responding to our communities’ needs for
more than a century, providing quality health care regardless of a
patient’s ability to pay. However, doing that is more than a legal
requirement of our not-for-profit status, its part of the Sisters of Mercy
mission that our physicians and co-workers live every day.
