Leading with purpose: Fairview’s commitment to Minnesota communities in 2024
In 2024, Fairview, a nonprofit healthcare system, invested $1.4 billion through innovative programs addressing health disparities, community benefit and support, uncompensated care, and discounts for uninsured patients.
This information and more is captured in our 2024 Community Impact Report, highlighting a year of transformative investment and leadership in community health. This report is one of the ways our health system demonstrates transparency and our continued commitment to the health and wellbeing of individuals throughout Minnesota.
“As an anchor institution rooted in our communities, Fairview recognizes the positive impact we can make in the lives of our patients, staff, and neighbors when we work in collaboration with local organizations to provide equitable care and address the social determinants of health,” said John Swanholm, vice president of Community Advancement at Fairview. “That’s why Fairview invests in our community through clinical care services, health-related programs, services, and advocacy – both inside and outside of our walls.”
