Community benefit is one way that non-profit health systems like live out our mission to care for the most vulnerable in our communities. Community benefit includes programs that improve access to health care services, enhance the health of the community, advance medical or health knowledge, or relieve the burden of government. As a faith-based health system, adheres to the Catholic Health Association’s standards for planning, delivering, and reporting our community benefit efforts.

Under the Affordable Care Act, the Internal Revenue Service (adopting the CHA guidelines) requires all non-profit hospitals to provide annual reports of programs undertaken to improve the health of their communities. Programs do not count as community benefit if they are primarily undertaken for marketing purposes or are unrelated to the mission of the organization. Most community benefit programs are provided to the community at large and not restricted to patients.

Data may be incomplete and should be used with caution. See notes below the graphs to identify what data points are missing.

Some categories tend to be reported primarily at the end of the year, so the quarterly numbers are not always meaningful.
