MAPP and Non-Profit Hospitals: Leveraging Community Benefit for Community Health Improvement (PDF)

With the historic passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, non-profit hospitals are being called to increase their accountability to the communities they serve. Capitalizing on this momentum, this fact sheet provides Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) communities with information that will help them engage their local non-profit hospitals in community health assessment and improvement. The fact sheet explains “community benefit” and recommends ways that MAPP communities can encourage local non-profit hospitals to support MAPP processes in an effort to fulfill community benefit requirements.
