Community outreach

Salem Health strives to improve the health and well-being of the people and communities we serve. Every year, we give back to the community in a number of ways, including sponsoring community events, enlisting our more than 5,000 employees to volunteer and serve on local nonprofit boards, and partnering with local organizations to meet the needs of our most vulnerable populations.

Some of the organizations we have supported in the past include:

Liberty House
Family Building Blocks
Salem Free Clinic
Mid-Willamette Valley Homeless Alliance
United Way
Salem Angels
Mano a Mano
The Gate
Northwest Human Services
Love, Inc.
Polk County CASA
