Charitable hospitals

Charitable hospitals are healthcare facilities that provide medical services primarily to underserved populations, often without charging or offering sliding-scale fees based on income. Funded through donations, grants, and sometimes government support, their mission is to ensure access to quality care regardless of patients' ability to pay. These hospitals focus on compassionate service, aiming to improve community health and reduce disparities. They operate under legal and ethical obligations to serve those in need, often working alongside government programs and community organizations to fulfill their social responsibility.
