Why FMC is Proud to be a Nonprofit Hospital NoNprofit hospitals are charitable .
All nonprofit hospitals provide needed medical care regardless of patients' ability to pay.
FMC's charitable contributions exceed potential tax payment . For-profit hospitals are not required to provide any charity care. If FMC were a for-profit hospital and was taxed, it is likely it could no longer provide charity care, which would place the burden of caring for those individuals on the community. FMC is a leader in charitable care. In relation to other Arizona hospitals, FMC greatly exceeds other hospitals in Arizona in the amount of charity care provided to the community.
