Community Programs

Giving back to the communities we serve

For St. Thomas More Hospital, community benefit is a planned, organized and measured approach to meeting identified community health needs or increasing access to health care. Community benefit may serve a specific group of persons who are economically poor, or may serve a broad cross-section of the community.

Community Benefit activities typically include services that happen outside a hospital's walls. This can include health fairs, free health screenings, immunizations, and health education classes. St. Thomas More Hospital conducts regular Community Needs Assessments to determine which of these services are most needed by the communities they serve.

R.S.V.P. Today

  • Blood Donation

    It is no wonder that one of the biggest health care crisis facing the nation today is the availability of blood and blood products when they are needed.

    St. Thomas More partners with the Penrose-St. Francis Blood Bank to ensure there is a safe and adequate blood supply for Canon City and Fremont County. In order to meet the needs of our patients, Penrose-St. Francis must collect 170-200 units every week. So, the need for blood donations is on-going. Blood cannot be manufactured, duplicated or produced outside of the human body. It can only be obtained through the volunteer efforts of healthy donors willing to give of themselves for the benefit of others.

    If you are interested in becoming a blood donor, would like more information about blood donation, or would like to schedule an appointment to donate blood, contact the blood bank or visit our donor center.
