Introduction and Overview
What Are Community Benefits?
Results Table
Medicare/Medicaid and Bad Debt

 

The IHA Community Benefits survey results are a voluntary effort undertaken by IHA to collect information about the benefits Iowa hospitals return to their communities. Community benefits are programs and services that address identified community health needs, regardless of source or availability of payment, and provide measurable improvement in health care access, health status, and the use of health care resources. Community benefits are those services that go beyond direct, mission-driven patient care activities.
