As a leader in the health care industry, we have a responsibility to create a healthier world for all. From sustainable clinical practices to community engagement, from promoting health care equity to protecting data, we are committed to making a positive impact that extends beyond the walls of any hospital.
Sustainable Health Care: Building a Better Tomorrow
In the ever-changing health care landscape, we focus on creating a sustainable future for clinicians, patients, employees, and clients. At SCP Health, delivering high-quality patient care is our mission, our duty, and our privilege. Our approach is about nurturing a healthier system for everyone, including strategies such as:
- Ensuring a culture of compliance and ethical practice
- Delivering over 160 million dollars of uncompensated care to thousands of patients in need each year
- Pioneering efficient care delivery models to decrease spending without compromising quality
- The hospitals in our program have an average length of stay of approximately two days less than national averages, which improves patient outcomes and represents a savings to the health care system of ~ $375M dollars
Giving Back
Our commitment to service is embedded in our culture and at the core of who we are. We strive to strengthen the fabric of our communities through partnerships, philanthropic support, and offering Volunteer Time Off to employees. We’re proud to collaborate with organizations that share our vision, including:
Caring for Our Own: The SCP Health Relief Fund
In times of need, we stand together. The SCP Health Relief Fund embodies our belief in the power of community support and our collective commitment to each other. Funded by the generosity of fellow SCP team members, the SCP Health Relief Fund provides immediate financial assistance to employees or clinicians who experience hardships resulting from unanticipated and unavoidable financial difficulties and emergencies.
