Every year, as part of our vital mission to promote health and wellness throughout the Greater Westerly region, Westerly Hospital sponsors, develops and participates in a wide variety of community-based programs and services. During 2021, WH invested $7.3 million in financial and in-kind contributions through three wide-ranging programs: Guaranteeing Access to Care; Advancing Careers in Health Care; and Promoting Health & Wellness. We are proud to summarize those efforts in the annual Community Benefit Report.
Today’s health care opens to a world of possibilities. Our vision is to bring all that health care offers to our communities, building a brighter, healthier future for everyone. For more than 95 years, Westerly Hospital has not only served the medical needs of the community but also pioneered advances in medicine and trained thousands of healthcare professionals. Today, as a member of Yale New Haven Health (YNHHS) – which also includes Bridgeport Hospital, Greenwich Hospital, Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, Yale New Haven Hospital and Northeast Medical Group – Westerly Hospital is a distinguished institution whose 724 employees are dedicated to the health and wellbeing needs of our community.
Westerly Hospital provided $7.0 million to guarantee access to care including free or discounted healthcare services to 2,669 eligible people at a loss of $1.3 million, plus under-reimbursed services for 15,190 Medicaid beneficiaries at a loss of $5.7 million.
Westerly Hospital provided over $150,000 to a variety of healthcare education programs that train individuals to become medical professionals, from nurses to pharmacists and dietitians.
Westerly Hospital provided over $160,000 to local health education programs, support groups, health fairs and various community organizations that help make Greater Westerly a healthier place to live and work.
