Bryan Health 2022 community benefits report

$218 million

This is the total cost of community benefits provided by the entities of Bryan Health in Fiscal Year 2022 — and that’s $78 million more than we reported in the previous year. The total breaks down like this:

$23 million in charity care. These free or discounted health services are provided to patients who can’t afford to pay and who meet criteria for financial assistance.

$170 million in unreimbursed cost of Medicare, Medicaid and other public programs. This represents the shortfall between the actual cost of providing care and payments received from the government.

$20 million to fund other community programs and subsidized services. These activities and programs improved community health and wellness, and we subsidized health care services that met identified needs in the community.

$4 million for health professionals education. This is how much it cost to provide accredited training and education programs for doctors, nurses and other health professionals through residency education and continuing medical education, plus financial support of the Bryan College of Health Sciences.

$1 million in partnership with other nonprofit organizations for charitable purposes.
