In 2014, Heritage Valley Health System provided nearly $7 million of charity
\n care, health care provided for free or at reduced prices to low income patients,
\n and covered more than $18 million in Medical Assistance and Medicare shortfalls.
\n This along with the sponsorship of community health fairs and subsidizing of free
\n community health services and education are evidence of the continued commitment
\n to community that Heritage Valley Health System displays.<\/p>\n

In addition
\n to the more than $25 million in direct community benefits, Heritage Valley Health
\n System has a strong, broad economic impact on the region. According to a recent
\n report by The Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP), the
\n organization estimates that Heritage Valley Health System accounted for approximately
\n $874 million in spending in the local economy.  Heritage Valley spends $379
\n million directly for staffing, goods and services and aided in another $495 million
\n of secondary spending within the local economy. <\/p>\n

“As the
\n health care needs of our population change, our mission remains simple, straightforward
\n and unwavering – to improve the health and well-being of all people in the
\n communities we serve” said G.R. Orr, III, Chair of the Heritage Valley Health
\n System Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

Heritage Valley Health System employs approximately
\n 3,700 individuals locally and supports an additional 4,600 jobs in the region and
\n the state.  The HAP report also explains how Pennsylvania’s hospitals
\n annually contribute nearly $111 billion (direct and secondary) to the state’s
\n economy.<\/p>\n

“Hospitals are integral players in improving the quality
\n of life in the Commonwealth,” said Andy Carter, President and CEO of The Hospital
\n & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP). “They do this not only
\n through delivery of health care services, but as top employers, creating spin-off
\n services and providing family-sustaining jobs.”<\/p>\n

\n economic impact report is available online at:<\/p>\n
