Overview

Mission

To improve the health of the communities we serve through high-quality, compassionate care, education, and research.

What it reported doing in 2024

Camden Clark Memorial Hospital strives to supply a comprehensive range of inpatient, outpatient, outreach clinics, including prevention, guidance, diagnosis, treatment, restoration, rehabilitation and other efforts as may be required to meet the health care needs of the community and as the hospitals resources will permit. Although reimbursement for services rendered is critical to the operation and stability of the hospital, it is recognized that not all individuals possess the ability to purchase essential medical services. Our mission is to serve the community by providing health care services and health care education. Therefore, in keeping with this commitment to service all members of the community, Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital will provide the following where the individuals need and/or an inability to pay coexist free care and/or subsidized care, and care provided to persons covered by governmental programs at or below cost.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
