This list is generated from Becker’s Hospital Review: Non-Profit Hospital List and For-Profit Hospital List.
These hospital systems generate a great deal of revenue. For example, the fifth largest non-profit hospital system, Catholic Health Initiatives, made $13.9 Billion in revenue in 2013 (according to Wikipedia) With that much revenue, Catholic Health Initiatives would be #202 on the Fortune 500 List - larger than CBS, VISA, YUM Brands (Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut), Hilton Hotels and Campbell Soup.
The No. 11 largest non-profit hospital system, Ascension Health, generated $20.5 Billion in revenue in 2015. If Ascension Health were on the Fortune 500, it would be No. 139…ahead of Tenet Healthcare (the third-largest for-profit hospital system), Southwest Airlines, Starbucks and Facebook.
