Hamilton takes great pride in our community. In 2018, Hamilton contributed over $51 million in service to the community through direct patient care and education, screenings, and support activities. Every year, Hamilton provides vital medical services to thousands of patients who are without the means to pay for the care they receive. This “uncompensated care” is defined as the sum of the health system’s non-reimbursed services and charity care of over $32.4 million, plus other below cost payments of $17.5 million.
