Giving Back to our Community
The hospital’s commitment to the Seacoast extends well beyond the delivery of top quality medical care. The hospital is a good neighbor providing millions of dollars in free care, millions of dollars in taxes and hundreds of thousands of dollars in charitable contributions. Throughout the year, we provide financial and marketing support to area non-profit organizations, such as Sexual Assault Support Services, shown here accepting a contribution towards their Kidsafe 5K Road Race event. Gain a complete picture of the hospital's investment in the Seacoast community. We are also hosting a food drive in February to benefit the Salvation Army.
