Jobs In many communities, a CHS-affiliated hospital is the largest employer in town or at least one of the largest generators of jobs. Approximately 67,000 men and women work across the organization. The payroll and benefits provided to these employees support local families, patronize other local businesses, impact associated jobs and build community-wide economic benefit. Taxes As tax-paying entities CHS-affiliated hospitals support local municipalities, including police and fire departments, schools, infrastructure improvements like roads and a wide range of community programs. Approximately $555 million was paid in property, sales and other taxes in 2020.

In many cases, capital investments at CHS-affiliated hospitals create local construction jobs and include purchasing of local services and products. In 2020, over $440 million in capital investment was made across our organization. Community Involvement Every CHS-affiliated hospital works to improve the wellbeing of local residents through health fairs, screenings and educational programs.
