City
Hospital, as a not-for-profit hospital, is exempt from paying
taxes that for-profit organizations are required to pay. This
would include most income and sales taxes, and some property
taxes. In return, City Hospital re-invests any excess revenue
back into the organization and community to be used for new
programs, services, and technological equipment rather than
distributing it to individual owners or stockholders.
As a not-for-profit hospital, we are dedicated to providing
care to every member of our community regardless of their
ability to pay. City Hospital operates on patient payments
and charitable donations alone, and is responsible for bearing
the costs of improving quality of care and access to care.
A 15-member Board of Trustees directs City Hospital to assure
that all members of the community receive the highest-level
quality of care at the lowest rate possible.
City
Hospital’s mission and vision is to continually improve
the health status of our region, through the provision of
high quality, cost effective health care and wellness services.
As a not-for-profit health care provider, community well-being
is our overriding goal and we strive to find new ways to keep
the residents of our community healthy.
