2007 Community Benefit Report
Ohio hospitals have a great story to tell – a $1.5 billion story of compassionate, quality caring. Ohio hospitals’ first public statewide consolidated community benefit report is a big step toward demonstrating the many ways they give back to their communities. Numbers make up one piece of the total picture – the rest is represented by the photos and stories of how Ohio’s 300,000 caregivers touch their patients’ lives.
