SDH is not only keeping our community healthy, but it's also supporting economic growth in the region!

Every hospital job supports more than just one paycheck. For every 100 hospital jobs, another 74 jobs are supported in non-health care sectors. And every $1,000 in current hospital wages and salaries sustains an additional $475 in income for other industries. From grocery stores and restaurants to utilities and local services, that’s the ripple effect of investing in hospitals and the health care workforce.

SDH joins the American Institute for Preventive Medicine in observing Wise Health Care Consumer Month. AIPM established this national health observance because they know how well medical self-care and wise health care consumer programs work. They want to help empower medical consumers to understand their options, communicate with their care providers, and make educated decisions about their own health. If you ever have a question about your health care and the cost associated with it, SDH encourages you to talk to your doctor and our billing department to determine what is the best option for you and your budget.
