The mission of Exeter Hospital is to improve the health of the community. This mission will be accomplished without compromising Exeter Hospital's sustainability principally by the provision of health services and information to the community in collaboration with Exeter Health Resources' other affiliates which share this mission.

In fiscal year 2019, Exeter Hospital served the community by providing care to 5,362 acute inpatients, 187,049 outpatient visits, 27,832 emergency room visits and 548 births. In 2019, Exeter Hospital supported its mission by supporting $9,591,862 in community outreach, benefits and financial assistance to the community excluding $38,997,109 in uncovered Medicare and Medicaid expenses. Exeter Hospital supports health care access in its service area by offering a robust financial assistance program that covers the cost of 100% of care provided to area residents based on income and family size. In 2019, the charity care program helped people access the health system as Exeter Hospital incurred a cost of $1,024,845 to provide financial assistance. In addition we provide support to vital community programs like our Healthreach Diabetes and Paramedicine programs and for providing access to contracted mental health professionals in our emergency room. We also supported access to the health system and the development of healthy life styles through our community education programs and our financial support of important healthcare related community based not for profits such as Lamprey Healthcare and Families First.

Exeter Hospital's acute care program provides acute inpatient and outpatient observation level care in our 99 staffed inpatient beds. Our inpatient services treat emergent, acute, elective surgical and palliative care patients. Approximately 74% of our admissions come from the emergency room. We offer inpatient acute services for medical and surgical diagnoses for adults as well as pediatric and obstetrical inpatient services. Exeter Hospital is fully accredited by DNV Healthcare, Inc. (an officially deemed Medicare and Medicaid Credentialing agency), earned the Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, which is the most prestigious distinction a healthcare organization can receive for nursing excellence and high quality patient care as well as many other service level specific national accreditations. Our practice model is guided by a series of collaborative Best Practice Committees that engage nurses and physicians in the development of the best possible evidence based care protocols. Exeter Hospital supports the safety of our patients and the efficiency of the care provided through the deployment of a 24/7 Hospitalist program that manages the majority of the medical needs of our patients during their admission. In our 10 bed ICU we also use an intensivest service to ensure that our most acute patients receive the most highly coordinated care possible, resulting in significantly lower than expected infection rates, ICU readmission rates and shorter ICU stays. For our patients at the end of their lives we ensure their safety and comfort through a physician led, highly coordinated palliative care program.

Exeter Hospital's Surgical program provides a full range of both inpatient and outpatient surgical services for patients of all ages from across our service area. Available surgical specialties include; orthopedics, general, ENT, gynecological, urological, plastics, ophthalmologic and vascular.
