A Piece of the Puzzle: Hospital Report 2007

One could compare Oregon's health care system to a puzzle, and the hospitals and health systems would be an important piece of the overall landscape. That's why Oregon Health News has spent several months poring over public records to compile a comprehensive financial report on all of Oregon's hospitals.

What’s inside this year’s expanded report? You’ll find financial data from the 2005 - 2006 fiscal year on every hospital in the state, as well as the salaries and benefits of hospital executives. This report also contains a special section examining the non-profit status of hospitals. We’ve updated information on new hospital construction and expanded our analysis of rural hospitals that have been turned into critical access facilities. And, new this year, you’ll find details on Oregon’s health districts — what this means for taxpayers in rural communities. In other words, we’ve done all the hard work for you!
