Programs described in its return (1)
- $20.4 million spent. The SCH Professional Corporation's 19 outpatient practices provide primary and specialty healthcare services to residents within Salem Regional Medical Center's Service Area. During fiscal year 2025, 38,137 primary care evaluation and management services were provided by 11 primary care physicians and 3 physician extenders. Also during 2025, 25,130 specialty care patient services were provided by 18 specialists and 5 physician extenders in gastroenterology, general surgery, plastic 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 2025 , charity care and financial assistance provided to patients seeking services through the SCH Professional Corporation practices totaled $108,301. 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. In partnership with Salem Regional Medical Center, our providers participated in various activities to support the organization.
