Community Benefits

Wisconsin’s hospitals and health systems have always been there—24 hours a day, seven days a week—to deliver high-quality, accessible health care. But their commitment goes far beyond the bedside. They are more than health care—they are community anchors, economic engines and trusted partners in building a healthier, more resilient Wisconsin.

In 2024, Wisconsin hospitals provided $2.2 billion in community benefits, a testament to their deep-rooted dedication to the people they serve. These contributions include charity care, subsidized services, health professions education and investments in behavioral health, housing and transportation—services that shape the social and economic conditions that influence health outcomes.
