What it reported doing in 2024

Saint Anthony Hospital (SAH) provides medical care, social services, and community outreach to Chicago's West and Southwest communities. SAH accepts patients regardless of their ability to pay, whether they cannot afford healthcare or are uninsured or underinsured. Saint Anthony has continually provided millions of dollars in net community benefit expense. Founded in 1897, SAH is a 151-bed, faith based, non-profit community teaching hospital dedicated to serving the health needs of Chicago's near southwest side. For over 100 years, Saint Anthony Hospital has offered quality and affordable medical services in a caring and supportive environment. SAH's operating rooms, emergency department, and imaging center offer modern technology that helps us in providing our patients the quality services they need in our communities. Saint Anthony Hospital uses four categories to identify the resources utilized for the care of persons who are poor and for community benefit programs: - Traditional charity care includes the cost of services provided to persons who cannot afford healthcare because of inadequate resources and/or who are uninsured or underinsured. - Unpaid cost of public programs represents the unpaid cost of services provided to persons covered by public programs for the poor. - Cost of other programs for the poor includes unreimbursed costs of programs intentionally designed to serve the poor and vulnerable of the community, including substance abusers, the homeless, victims of child abuse, and persons with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. - Community benefit consists of the unreimbursed costs of community benefit programs and services for the general community, not solely for the poor, including health promotion and education, health clinics and screenings, and medical research.
