Community Benefit

In 1889, the Hospital Sisters came to the Chippewa Valley with a commitment to provide Christ’s healing ministry to all people. Sacred Heart Hospital continues that commitment through its community benefit services, which include unpaid care to beneficiaries of public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, Community Care to those unable to pay, community education and services, and professional education for our clinical staff. 

Each year Sacred Heart Hospital provides millions of dollars in support of our commitment to the community. As a result of our commitment of resources, thousands of individuals benefited from the many community services offered by Sacred Heart.
