Simi Valley Hospital And Health Care Services

Programs: In support of the hospital's mission statement, simi valley hospital & health care services (svhhcs) provides quality medical health care regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, age, or ability to pay. Although reimbursement for services rendered is critical to the operation and stability of simi valley hospital, the organization recognizes that not all individuals possess the ability to pay for essential medical services. Adventist health's vision is to enhance the health of the communities where we live and serve, by engaging our community and our patients in a new definition of a partnership for personal community health. In keeping with this commitment to serve all members of the community, the following will be considered when individuals who need health care cannot pay: 1. Providing free care and/or subsidized care 2. Providing care to persons covered by governmental programs at below cost 3. Providing health/wellness activities and community education programsnot only does svhhcs provide low-cost care to individuals covered by government programs and those unable to afford health care, but it also helps patients find and access private and governmental resources for health care benefits. Svhhcs recognizes below-cost reimbursement as charity and uncompensated care in meeting its mission to the entire community.
