Community Benefit is “a program or activity that provides treatment or promotes health and healing, addresses health disparities or addresses the social determinants of health in response to an identified community need." (Oregon Revised Statute 442.601).
Community benefit is comprised of unreimbursed care, such as charity care and Medicaid losses; and proactive, direct spending on services, such as supporting community health improvement projects or donating money or equipment to community groups. Annually, roughly 80% of all community benefit spending is on unreimbursed care.
The Oregon Hospital Community Benefit Dashboard is updated annually and accompanies the
Oregon Hospital Community Benefit Data Brief. The newest dashboard update and data brief include data through 2024. Data from the report is also available to download from the Supplemental Data Tables workbook.
