In 2024, the hospital distributed more than $11,936,353 in salaries, wages and benefits for its approximately 150 employees, while contributing more than $22,449 in professional development and assistance so all its employees can have the opportunity to learn, grow and improve the care they provide their patients.

Last year, the organization paid $1,311,350 in local and state taxes, while also continuing its support of local activities and organizations committed to serving the region, including the American Heart Association, Anderson County Chamber of Commerce, Woodford County Chamber of Commerce, Midway University and many more.
