Over the decades, CTCH has been a health and wellness partner to our patients in far southwest Virginia, offering comprehensive care from medical to therapy services. This past November, our teams there gathered to celebrate the hospital's 50th anniversary.

Our mission is to improve the health of the communities we serve. As a tax-exempt organization, we care for our patients regardless of their ability to pay.

We have a Financial Assistance Policy that outlines which patients are eligible for assistance and the process we follow. Generally, patients are eligible for some form of assistance if their family income is at or below 500 percent of the federal poverty guidelines.

Santa took time out of his busy schedule last week to visit with some of our youngest patients. His stops included the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Pediatric Units where he came in person and virtually, plus a stop at the home of a pediatric hospice patient.

Thank you to Santa and all his helpers for making these visits possible and bringing joy to our patients and their families this holiday season.
