Promotion of health

Stevens Community Medical Center is a not-for-profit integrated health care system. The mission of the Medical Center is to make available high-quality health care. The Medical Center serves the population of West Central Minnesota and is becoming a regional health care center."CARING IS OUR REASON FOR BEING"SCMC provides quality medical healthcare regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, age or ability to pay. Although reimbursement for services rendered is critical to the operation and stability of SCMC, it is recognized that not all individuals possess the ability to purchase essential medical services. To further that, our mission is to serve the community with respect to providing health care services and health care education. For example, the Medical Center is committed to providing medical services to all members of its community, provide free care and/or subsidized care, promote health activities and programs to support the community, and provide care to persons covered by governmental programs at below cost. Therefore, financial assistance will be considered where the need and/or an individual's inability to pay exists. SCMC had 35,925 hospital outpatient visits, 41,743 clinic and urgent care visits, 1,585 inpatient days, 8,348 outpatient counseling visits, 89 deliveries, 440 surgeries, 2,593 emergency room visits, and 21,505 therapy treatments in 2019. SCMC also owns and operates the Courage Cottage, an adult foster care facility specializing in care for the terminally ill. In 2019, 10 residents were served, and the cost to provide their care was subsidized by community donations.Recognizing its mission to the community, SCMC provides services to Medicare, Medicaid, and other patients covered by governmental programs, sometimes at a reimbursement below cost. The total discounts accepted for providing care to patients was $27,068,234 in 2019. The charges foregone for services supplied under SCMC's charity care policy (free and/or subsidized care) was $1,041,000 in 2019.Charity care is also provided through many reduced price services and free SCMC programs and information offered throughout the year based on activities and services which SCMC believes will serve a bona fide community need. These include: various brochures to educate patients; staff speaking for a variety of community events including SCMC sponsored "health nights," elderly and adult education; sponsoring a smoking cessation program and a variety of other "wellness" type programs at subsidized cost; providing meeting facilities for various community groups; offering support groups; and providing assistance to educators through our work with student nurses.
