Each Samaritan hospital has a Community Benefit Plan based on identified community health needs, goals and priorities for each county it serves. These plans guide our community benefit efforts and are reviewed and approved by our hospitals’ boards of directors, which are made up of hospital staff, physicians and community members. The boards review and monitor the progress of the plans each year. View the Community Benefit Plans for each of our five hospital sites below:
