non-profit hospitals
Non-profit hospitals are healthcare institutions that prioritize community health over making profits. Any surplus revenue they generate is reinvested into the hospital to improve services, facilities, and patient care, rather than being distributed to owners or shareholders. They often provide charity care to those unable to pay and typically qualify for tax-exempt status. Non-profit hospitals are usually sponsored by communities, religious organizations, or other nonprofits, and their primary goal is to serve the public interest by offering accessible, high-quality healthcare.
