What Are Community Benefits?

Community benefits are the programs and services that nonprofit hospitals must provide to their community to justify their tax-exempt status. These benefits often include charity care programs, health education workshops, and free health screenings.

Why They Matter

These programs are designed to address the specific health needs of the local population, especially for underserved and vulnerable communities. They represent the hospital's commitment to improving public health beyond its own walls.
