On Thursday, Jan. 29, the Employers’ Forum of Indiana (EFI) released a review of the Indiana Hospital Association-commissioned Kaufman Hall report on hospital finances, along with its own analysis of publicly available data, finding that Indiana hospitals’ financial performance varies widely and does not support a uniform narrative of financial distress.
Editor’s note: The Reporter published the Indiana Hospital Association’s findings in our Wednesday, Jan. 28 edition. You can read it at this link.
“EFI recognizes that some Indiana hospitals are facing real financial challenges and that maintaining access to care in those communities must remain a priority,” EFI President and CEO Randa Deaton said. “Publicly available data indicates we have a bifurcated market where some hospitals are extremely profitable while others are clearly struggling. Policymakers should therefore rely on complete financial data and pursue targeted solutions that protect access where it is most at risk while appropriately accounting for financial capacity of the state’s most profitable hospitals.”
Among Hamilton County’s hospitals, only Riverview Health reported a net loss for 2024: $31,579,453, or negative 12 percent.
