127340.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a)  Private not-for-profit hospitals meet certain needs of their communities through the provision of essential health care and other services.

In exchange, nonprofit hospitals assume a social obligation to provide community benefits in the public interest. (b)  Hospitals and the environment in which they operate have undergone dramatic changes. The pace of change will accelerate in response to health care reform. In light of this, significant public benefit would be derived if private not-for-profit hospitals reviewed and reaffirmed periodically their commitment to assist in meeting their communities’ health care needs by identifying and documenting benefits provided to the communities which they serve. (c)  California’s private not-for-profit hospitals provide a wide range of benefits to their communities in addition to those reflected in the financial data reported to the state. (d)  Unreported community benefits that are often provided but not otherwise reported include, but are not limited to, all of the following: (1)  Community-oriented wellness and health promotion. (2)  Prevention services, including, but not limited to, health screening, immunizations, school examinations, and disease counseling and education. (3)  Adult day care. (4)  Child care. (5)  Medical research. (6)  Medical education. (7)  Nursing and other professional training. (8)  Home-delivered meals to the homebound.
