Support Our Local Hospitals - Sponsored by the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council

At the heart of every community is your local hospital. Whenever you, your children or friends need treatment for an ailment, your local hospital is there for you. Hospitals care for all patients — regardless of ability to pay. Annually, area not-for-profit hospitals provide over $3 billion in charitable contributions to their communities and generate over $400 million in taxes.
In 2008, the overall financial impact of Provena Health's community benefit contributions totaled more than $121 million! The figure represented a nearly $38 million increase in contributions over 2007. Read our 2008 Report to our Communities online.
