The Kaiser Family Foundation draws its data from the 2018 AHA Annual Survey of Hospitals. The American Hospital Association defines community hospitals as “all nonfederal, short-term general, and special hospitals whose facilities and services are available to the public.”
Nearly a quarter of community hospitals in the U.S. were classified as for-profit in 2018, while more than 56 percent were nonprofit and nearly 19 percent were controlled by a state, county or city government.
Here are the states with the most for-profit community hospitals as of 2018, the latest year from which data is available:
1. Texas — 53.2 percent
2. Nevada — 52.3 percent
3. Florida — 52.1 percent
4. New Mexico — 43.9 percent
5. Arizona — 43.4 percent
6. Louisiana — 41.8 percent
7. Tennessee — 39.1 percent
8. Oklahoma — 38.4 percent
9. South Carolina — 36.2 percent
