The Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital

Community involvement has been linked to bassett's mission and values since it first opened in 1921. Whether it is strengthening our community relationships for health and wellness, communicating ideas for improving our services to our region, or providing a forum for bassett to learn and listen, we are working with our community to improve the quality of life of the people of our region. Our community services program provides free services to persons who cannot afford to pay, who do not qualify for medicaid, and who fall within the established income guidelines. Bassett's community health education programs include lectures, presentations, health fairs, and other group programs in addition to the clinical and diagnostic services offered. Clinical services offered includes screenings, health tests and health risk appraisals including blood pressure, lipid profile, cholesterol screenings, cardiology risk factor screenings, and all cancer screenings. Our community building activities include philanthropic support for health initiatives and community health and welfare projects including promoting healthy lifestyles, disease prevention, and community awareness initiatives. Our doors are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We are proud to provide care to our communities.
