Eugene A. Woods, Chief Executive Officer at Advocate Health and President and CEO at Atrium Health, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Last year, Advocate Health invested $6.27 billion in community benefit, one of the largest in the nation – amounting to $17 million every day.
Like so many who dedicate their lives to healthcare, I entered this profession to serve others – particularly when they are facing life’s greatest challenges and uncertainties.
Community benefit is one way we do that: caring for patients regardless of their ability to pay, investing in healthier communities and advancing research and education.
Behind every dollar is someone who got the care, support or opportunity they needed.
I’m grateful to our 170,000 teammates, physicians and community partners who make that possible every day.
And we’re just getting started.
