- $328.4 million spent. In fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025), OhioHealth, with its member hospitals and homecare organizations, provided charity care and community benefit programs to a great degree. In total, OhioHealth provided $493.2 million in charity care and community benefit programs and services reaching hundreds of thousands of people in the communities we serve.

OhioHealth provides medically necessary services without charge or at amounts less than its established rates to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policies. In assessing a patient's ability to pay, OhioHealth not only utilizes generally recognized poverty income levels of the communities they serve but also includes certain cases where incurred charges are significant when compared to the patient's financial resources. Charity care is determined based on established policies, using patient income and assets to determine payment ability. OhioHealth provides community services intended to benefit the underserved and enhance the health status of the communities it serves. These services include 24-hour-a-day emergency rooms, community health screenings, forums for various support groups, health education classes, speakers and publications, hospice and medical research. OhioHealth has been able to achieve a greater impact in the community by partnering financial and human resources with other organizations. These expenditures include a commitment to the project to reduce infant mortality, pastoral care service, various civic sponsorships, and other community partnership programs. The Corporation's total benefit to the community includes the cost of charity care (net of assistance received from the Hospital Care Assurance Program), unpaid cost of Medicaid, and medical education programs as well as certain programs discussed above.
