Person Memorial Hospital Publishes 2023 Community Benefit Report

Person Memorial Hospital today published its community benefit report for the 2023 calendar year. This annual report outlines the various ways the hospital is working to support the health and economic vitality of Roxboro/Person County as part of its mission of making communities healthier®.

“As a leading healthcare provider in Roxboro and Person County, Person Memorial Hospital is committed to providing high-quality care close to home, investing in our region’s overall well-being and making a positive impact on those we serve,” said Bert Beard, chief executive officer (CEO) of Person Memorial Hospital. “This year’s report highlights our continued efforts to provide compassionate care – both inside and outside our hospital walls.”

Person Memorial Hospital’s 2023 community benefit report highlights its continued efforts to meet the growing healthcare needs of its community through welcoming new providers, adding and expanding service lines and continually investing in its facilities and healthcare technology. For example, in 2023, Person Memorial Hospital added 34 providers in anesthesiology, behavioral health, emergency and hospital medicine, orthopedics, pathology and radiology; and made nearly $878,000 in capital improvements, including an orthopedic X-Ray system, a new ventilator, IV pumps and a pediatric colonoscope.

Additionally, Person Memorial Hospital donated more than $15 million in health services to those in need, demonstrating its continuous commitment to ensuring everyone has access to care, regardless of their ability to pay.

Person Memorial Hospital is also devoted to creating environments where providers want to practice, and employees want to work. In 2023, the hospital distributed more than $19 million in salaries, wages, and benefits for its approximately 235 employees, while contributing more than $17,000 in professional development and tuition assistance so all its employees can have the opportunity to learn, grow and improve the care they provide their patients.

Last year, the organization paid $2,954,398 in local and state taxes, while also continuing its support of local activities and organizations committed to serving the region, including Relay for Life, Piedmont Community College, and Person County Health Department.

“We are proud to call Roxboro and Person County our home, and we feel incredibly grateful for the continued support of all those who entrust us with their care. Our success would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our providers, employees, and volunteers,“ said Beard. “As we look ahead to the future, we are so excited to continue improving the ways we serve our neighbors and communities.”
