St. Luke’s University Health Network was ranked at No. 16 in the nation on the Lown Institute’s top-25 list of health care systems with “fair share” surpluses.

That means the network spends more on charity and community investment than it receives in tax breaks.

“This report’s findings reflect the level of St. Luke’s commitment to the communities we serve,” said St. Luke’s Vice President of Community Health Rajika Reed.

The Lown Institute calculated fair share spending based on 2019 tax form, balancing the estimated value of hospital systems’ tax exemptions against the amount systems spent on charity care.
