2009 Hamot Fealth Foundation Community Benefit Report Summary
Community Benefit
Hamot has always identified and implemented services that meet the unique and diverse needs of those in our community. We strive to help in ways that reach far beyond the walls of our facilities. These efforts are both consistent with our mission and vital to our status as a non-profit organization.
During fiscal year 2009, Hamot provided more than $41 million in community benefit programs and unreimbursed care. Though this number is substantial, it does not capture the extent to which Hamot is impacting the health, well-being and vitality of our community.
Our mission has charged us with the responsibility to serve the members of our community. We fulfill this obligation daily, not only as a healthcare provider but also as an employer, educator and civic partner
