At Emory Healthcare, our core purpose is to improve lives and provide hope. This purpose extends beyond the walls of our hospitals and clinics. It reaches into our communities, where nearly 24,000 Emory Healthcare employees live their daily lives as your neighbors. We realize that the environment, the economy, education, public safety, and justice all play a role in community health and well-being.
For that reason, we work in partnership with community organizations, policymakers, and others to address the needs of our community. Since we are part of Emory University, our efforts to improve health and health outcomes in our community are enhanced by access to research and specialized expertise across multiple disciplines.
We had more than 6 million patient encounters through our hospitals and clinics and provided a total of $579.4 million in community benefits during fiscal year 2023.
