In 2016, Wisconsin hospitals collectively used $1.8 billion of their resources to provide benefits to the communities they serve. These benefits included charity care and uncompensated care. Without these tax-exempt bonds, non-profit hospitals could be faced with shifting resources away from community benefits for infrastructure related costs.
 
WHA works to preserve and protect private activity bonds and their tax-exempt status as they help health care providers keep costs low so that they can focus resources on patients and services.
