not-for-profit hospitals: still a community value
|
 |
An April 4, 2008, article in The Wall Street Journal by John Carreyrou and Barbara Martinez painted much of the not-for-profit hospital industry in a negative light. There were a number of themes that ran throughout this article, but four received the majority of attention:
|
|
• |
Not-for-profit hospitals have high profit levels |
|
• |
Cash balances at many not-for-profit hospitals are high |
|
• |
Salaries of key executives are excessive |
|
• |
Not-for-profit hospitals do not give back enough charity care |
