Midsize vital hospitals provide critical care when it comes to improving population health in rural and small urban areas. These hospitals provide top level care for inpatient and outpatient services and surgeries.

Midsize vital hospitals face barriers including rising costs, demographic shifts and severe workforce challenges. However, they do not qualify for substantial state policy benefits. These facilities require crucial funding to ensure financial sustainability.

State Policy Matters

Mid-sizeVitalHospital

Michigan’s MVHs serve a vital role in the state’s healthcare system ensuring access to care for residents in rural and small urban areas. While these hospitals experience similar challenges to critical access hospitals, including rising costs, demographic shifts and severe workforce challenges, they are not eligible for significant state policy benefits.

State funding is needed to ensure financial sustainability for these facilities. This additional funding recognizes the fixed costs associated with maintaining operating services at facilities with inconsistent volume and reimbursement cycles.
