Abstract:
Michigan's nonprofit community hospitals serve the state's citizens in extraordinary ways--regardless of whether anyone pays for that service. In 2001, these community-based organizations provided $885 million in free health care to area residents who were uninsured or otherwise could not pay for it. In addition, the state's nonprofit hospitals contributed more than $276 million in services such as health education, outreach, screening, counseling and free clinics. The total worth of these traditional and nontraditional benefits to Michigan communities in 2001 was a staggering $1.16 billion.
