ABOUT US PATIENTS & VISITORS PROVIDERS SERVICES NEWS & EVENTS SUPPORT CMH CAREERS About Us » Community Benefit Community Benefit Community Memorial Hospital is here for our community. As a nonprofit, joint township-owned hospital, we believe it is our mission to give back to the communities we serve. Even if you have not been a patient, you have probably experienced an event, program, or service provided or sponsored by Community Memorial Hospital. Through community care programs, educational seminars, and other health-related services, we reach out to serve and educate our communities whenever we can. We work hand-in-hand with schools, community organizations, and local leaders to improve the overall health and quality of life for residents in our service area. CMH participated in the funding and commissioning of the 2018 Defiance County Health Needs Assessment. This report, a summary of Defiance County residents' health and health behaviors, will help agencies like CMH plan and deliver needed programming, services, and education aimed at improving the quality of life in our communities.
