Additionally, based on its most recently completed community benefits survey, the Hospital incurred approximately $2.31 million in net losses related to providing care for individuals with health insurance provided by either the Medicaid program or other governmental insurance programs. The Hospital subsidizes several programs that are deemed vital services for the community, including in-home hospice and palliative care services, a hospice residence, a walk-in clinic located in the rural community of Warrens, WI, and a dedicated community outreach department that provides health and wellness services to area employers and the Tomah community. Subsidies for these programs for fiscal 2025 approximated $3.08 million. Additional details regarding the hospice program and the Warrens Walk-In Clinic can be found below in 4b and 4c. In addition to providing high quality healthcare services, the Hospital encourages employees to become actively involved in community organizations and projects that provide other benefits to local communities. The Hospital provides many free services to the community, including health and wellness presentations to area school children, CPR and AED training to various organizations, wellness fairs devoted to women and senior citizens, and meeting space to various non-profit and civic organizations.

Despite subsidizing the financial losses incurred by the program, the services are deemed vital to the community and represent a necessary component of patient care.
