The Lown Institute named the top hospitals for the largest fair share surpluses in 49 states.
In March, the nonpartisan healthcare think tank released its report on the “fair share spending” of private nonprofit hospitals across the nation. For the report, Lown calculated fair share spending based on IRS form 990 for the fiscal year ending 2021 by comparing estimated value of hospital tax exemptions to money spent on meaningful community investments. Find the lists for hospitals with the highest surplus and lowest deficiency.
Here are the hospitals with the highest surplus in fair share spending per state:
