The Economic Contribution Of Missouri’s Hospitals

Hospitals are one of the strongest segments of Missouri’s economy. Every year, tens of thousands of dedicated health care workers provide vital health care services to millions of Missourians. In 2007, Missouri’s hospitals were the site of 80,500 newborn deliveries, nearly 18 million outpatient procedures, 584,000 surgeries and 2.5 million visits to emergency departments. During times of economic slowdown, it is more important than ever to maintain support for those employers that are still hiring workers and keeping local economies alive.
