I thought our followers would like to read this information.
Here are the 50 largest for-profit hospitals in America, listed by number of beds.
Figures are based on CMS cost report data analyzed by American Hospital Directory. Data are for short term acute-care hospitals, critical access hospitals and children’s hospitals. Data was analyzed June 3, 2014.
Note: The hospital bed counts reported here include all medical/surgical and special care beds as reported to CMS by the hospitals in their most recent cost reports and, in some cases, may include bed counts from other facilities that share a provider number with the main hospital. Those facilities are identified in footnotes. The hospital rankings total 50, although the list includes ties, which means there are more than 50 individual facilities listed.
For the purposes of this list, AHD data were stratified to include the following “type of control” categories: proprietary corporation; proprietary individual; proprietary other; and proprietary partnership.
