Improving the Health of the Community We Serve

Community hospitals such as Martha Jefferson have a pivotal role to play in improving the health status of the communities they serve. Martha Jefferson's mission is simple: to participate as a community resource in raising the health status of area residents. Martha Jefferson is a resource in many distinct ways, including the Community Health Partnership Program, health information centers such as HealthSource Library, the Cancer Care Resource Center, community health education programs and health screenings. We believe that the best way to achieve our mission is to be a trusted partner to community organizations, healthcare providers and individuals.

Martha Jefferson Reaches Out in Many Ways

Martha Jefferson Hospital's mission - to improve the health and well-being of the community - compels us to continually improve upon our services, expand the continuum of care, educate individuals about their health, and foster a culture of learning among our skilled professionals, and to reach out to individuals in need. Many people who might not otherwise seek healthcare are served through a variety of community-based programs - our Community Health Partnerships -- that we undertake solely or in conjunction with other community agencies and groups.

Martha Jefferson provides indigent care and has a sliding scale payment system called Health Trust for persons who qualify for assistance.
