Hospitals Make a Powerful Impact—See the Data Behind It
Hospitals across Missouri contribute billions in community benefits every year through uncompensated care, outreach programs and local economic support. This data compiles the monetary value behind those efforts, helping hospital leaders and stakeholders demonstrate value, reinforce public trust and advocate for continued investment.

In celebration of National Nurses Week (May 6-12) and National Hospital Week (May 11-17), the Missouri Hospital Association honors Champions of Care in the categories of nursing, nursing teams, health care workers and health care teams.
