Our nation's non-profit hospitals are often the only providers of complex services in their communities, like trauma centers, burn units, substance use disorder clinics - specialized services critical for public health and safety. Why? These services, often operating at a loss, are sustained by non-profit hospitals' tax-exempt status. It allows them to invest in community services rather than generate profits for shareholders.
Maintaining the tax-exempt status of these hospitals strengthens the entire health care system, protects access to care for patients, and promotes medical innovation in communities across the country. We must invest in our future. To learn more and join us in supporting these vital institutions and patients across the country, read our latest report. Together, we can work toward high-quality health care for all. Clinical Benefits of Not-for-Profit Health Systems Beyond Charity Care
