The Kaiser Family Foundation draws its data from the 2017 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.”
More than a quarter of community hospitals in the U.S. were classified as for-profit in 2017, 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 2017, the latest year from which data is available:
1. Nevada — 52.3 percent
2. Texas — 51.5 percent
3. Florida — 51.4 percent
4. Louisiana — 42.9 percent
5. Arizona — 42.2 percent
6. Tennessee — 41.8 percent
