Organizations Filed Purposes: As a subsidiary of Salem Regional Medical Center ("the Medical Center"), the purpose of the SCH Professional Corporation is to provide a corporate structure for effectively attracting and retaining physicians to support the mission of the Medical Center and to meet community need by providing a diverse geographic and/or multi-specialty base of services. Prior to the affiliation and/or opening of the SCH Professional Corporation offices, access to these respective healthcare providers was lacking; the services were available only in a reduced capacity; and/or the communities were experiencing difficulty in recruiting and retaining medical practitioners, resulting in gaps in medical treatment or barriers to access.

The SCH Professional Corporation operates sixteen outpatient facilities and employs thirty physicians and ten physician extenders, for the benefit of patients in Salem Regional Medical Center's defined Service Area, with outreach offices located in the communities of Columbiana, Damascus, Salem, and Lisbon. These outreach facilities consist of five family practice and internal medicine offices, two general pediatric practices, a gastroenterology practice, a general surgery practice, a neurology practice, an oncology practice, a pain management practice, an ear, nose and throat practice, and two orthopedic practices.

The SCH Professional Corporation's sixteen outpatient practices provide primary and specialty healthcare services to residents within Salem Regional Medical Center's Service Area. During fiscal year 2020, 28,273 primary care evaluation and management services were provided by 12 primary care physicians. Also during 2020, 17,719 specialty care patient services were provided by 13 specialists and 6 physician extenders in gastroenterology, general surgery, neurology, otolaryngology and orthopedics. In support of its community outreach commitment, the SCH Professional Corporation's outpatient practices provide charity care and financial assistance for healthcare services delivered, in accordance with the patient's financial need and the guidelines specified in the charity care policy. In fiscal year 2020, charity care and financial assistance provided to patients seeking services through the SCH Professional Corporation practices totaled $10,480. It should also be noted that the SCH Professional Corporation primary care practices serve as one of the few sources of primary care for Medicaid patients within the Medical Center's Service Area. Beyond providing charity care, the SCH Professional Corporation seeks opportunities to further its tax-exempt purpose and community benefit initiatives by providing a wide variety of community health services, screenings and educational outreach services, designed to improve the community's health status and access to health resources. Examples of these events offered through the SCH Professional Corporation include, but are not limited to: staff and physician educational resources provided free of charge to the community; and reduced cost preventative screenings, e.g. cholesterol/lipid density. To increase regional access to outreach services for people of all ages, many of the medical educational programs, screenings and health fairs are provided in outlying regions of the service area in collaborative partnerships with local school districts, civic and community organizations, faith-based organizations, and area businesses.
