As I have blogged previously, WMHS is the region's largest employer with 2300 employees. Our employees receive over $143 million in salaries and benefits and have an economic impact on the community of over $234 million. For every job at WMHS, another 2 jobs are supported in the local economy equating to another 4,500 jobs in our region. The overall economic impact of WMHS on the region exceeds over $300M with local purchases for goods and services exceeding $20 million. During FY 2012, over $16 million was spent on financial assistance for patients who could not afford their care, which was a 28% increase over the previous fiscal year. Another $26 million supported programs and services that benefit the community. These programs fell into the following categories: community health services, health professions education, mission driven services, financial contributions to non- profit organizations and community building activities. Wow, that's a lot to be extremely proud of!
