Advocacy Issue: Tax-Exempt Status
Every single hospital and health system provides benefits to their communities that far outstrip any other sector in health care. Some hospitals are exempt from federal and some state and local taxes. Hospitals more than earn their tax exemption, in part because of the immense benefits they provide to the communities they serve.
Tax-Exempt Status
Not-for-profit community hospitals do more than care for the injured and infirm; they promote and protect the health and well-being of their communities. Not-for-profit hospitals are distinguished by certain charitable obligations that have evolved over time as they work to meet the changing health needs of their communities.
Benefits to Communities
The mission of all hospitals and health systems, regardless of size and type of ownership, is to care for their patients and communities. In addition to providing financial assistance to those in need, hospitals have programs that are responsive to their community’s needs. These community benefits include help with housing, accessing healthy food, educational programs, health screenings, transportation to ensure patients arrive at needed medical appointments, vaccination clinics and other programs to address the many other needs that affect the community’s health and well-being.
