Hospitals Statistics Insert prepared by Donald McCormick, MSHI, AHA Director of Analytics and Financial Policy.
Hospital Statistics uses the latest data available. This edition includes utilization and financial data reflecting the periods during and following the public health emergency declaration for the COVID-19 pandemic. When comparing data from 2022-2025 to previous years, it is important to remember that hospitals experienced massive disruptions in 2020-21. Reductions in revenue due to deferred and delayed care, expenditures related to pandemic preparedness and response, supply chain issues, staffing shortages, and several major surges associated with COVID-19 during previous years can bias trends seen in post-emergency data. Financial and utilization measures included are reported based on hospital fiscal year, and not all 2023 data reflect the same 12-month period for each hospital.
ARKANSAS HOSPITALS 2026
BY THE NUMBERS
Newborns were delivered in Arkansas hospitals in 2024. Over 60% of those births were covered by Medicaid. 118 110 65 30 40 $19.73 BILLION
Hospitals of all types located in cities, towns, and communities throughout Arkansas.
Hospitals and other healthcare organizations are members of the Arkansas Hospital Association.
Community hospitals have fewer than 100 acute care beds.
Hospitals are designated by the federal government as critical access hospitals, having no more than 25 acute care beds.
Counties are served by a single hospital. Twenty-one of those counties are served by a single critical access hospital and two counties are served by a single rural emergency hospital.
Is contributed by hospitals toward Arkansas’s economy, through the impacts of well-paid, consistent employment, purchases of goods and services, and construction and capital spending.
Of Arkansas workers are employed by hospitals or other healthcare organizations.
Arkansas counties and cities believe their hospitals to be important enough that people in those areas have voted to provide local tax support for the hospital.
Arkansas counties – more than 25% of all counties in the state – do not have a local community hospital.
Of AHA member organizations are charitable, not-for-profit organizations, while 24% are operated by private, for-profit companies, and 12% are public hospitals owned and operated by a city, county, state, or federal government.
Hospitals offer labor and delivery services for birthing mothers in Arkansas.
Arkansans sought inpatient or outpatient care from the state’s hospitals each day in 2024, on average, for illnesses, injuries, and other conditions that require medical attention.
ECONOMIC IMPACT OF ARKANSAS HOSPITALS, 2024
Arkansas hospitals are economic powerhouses for our state. In 2024, hospitals directly employed 48,630 individuals with a total payroll of $4,768,254,000. Those payroll dollars, when spent on groceries, housing, and other goods and services, generated an additional $8,668,194,000 in economic activity and supported 47,940 more jobs across Arkansas. Hospitals also purchased $5,585,504,000 worth of supplies, utilities, and services, which rippled out to generate another $10,153,884,000 in the wider economy. Capital investments — $500,989,000 in building and equipment — created roughly $910,747,000 of economic impact. Altogether, Arkansas hospitals supported or created 96,570 jobs and delivered a total economic impact of $19,732,827,000.
Beyond the economic footprint, hospitals deliver lifesaving and lifeenhancing services around the clock. In 2024 alone, they cared for over 360,000 admitted patients and managed more than 6.7 million outpatient visits including 1.5 million visits to the emergency department. Surgeons in Arkansas performed over 300,000 inpatient and outpatient procedures, and 31,589 babies were welcomed into the world by our hospital staff. More than $690 million in charity care ensured that no one was turned away for inability to pay — all while hospitals provided high-quality, efficient care, served as safe harbors in emergencies, offered end-of-life comfort, educated communities on disease prevention, and fought to retain critical health services in their regions.
Arkansas hospitals generate tremendous economic value, but that impact is increasingly difficult to sustain. Across the state, hospitals are facing service reductions, facility transitions, emergency department closures, and growing financial instability that threaten access to care. These pressures are intensified by the nation’s lowest commercial reimbursement rates, continued losses in hospital-based delivery services, and looming federal policy changes that could increase uncompensated care while weakening key support programs. In a rural state where most communities already travel long distances for care, each lost service creates a broader strain on patients and neighboring hospitals. Protecting Arkansas hospitals means protecting access, jobs, and the economic foundation of communities statewide.
HR-1: Health Coverage and Hospital Finance Effects
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21) changed Medicaid and Health Insurance Marketplace policy. For hospitals, the key effects center on eligibility verification, coverage loss risk, Medicaid financing constraints, and uncompensated care exposure.
131K
Arkansans estimated to lose health coverage over the next decade.
217K
Arkansans enrolled in ARHOME as of Feb. 2026 are impacted by HR-1.
What changes for eligibility?
HR-1 requires states to condition eligibility for many ACA Medicaid expansion adults on work or community engagements. In Arkansas, the Arkansas Department of Human Services announced a soft implementation beginning July 1, 2026, with penalties delayed until January 1, 2027. Covered ARHOME adults must work, volunteer, or attend school for at least 20 hours per week – 80 hours per month – unless they meet an exemption.
What hospital are watching
Eligibility and reporting changes can affect hospitals even when patients remain clinically eligible for coverage. Missed notices, documentation problems, or failure to verify exemptions can shift patients from Medicaid coverage to uninsured status, reducing payment for care already delivered and increasing uncompensated care.

$326B

Arkansas hospital finance exposure
Nationwide models for selected Arkansas hospital groups show the expected direction impact: lower Medicaid revenue and higher uncompensated care. These figures do not represent the total impact of HR-1.
HR-1’s health provisions are expected to affect Arkansas hospitals through two linked pathways: fewer covered patients and more constrained Medicaid financing tools. The size of the impact will depend on federal rules, state implementation choices, and how many eligible residents remain enrolled.
Arkansas Rural Health Transformation Program
Arkansas’s Rural Health Transformation Program organizes the state’s rural health strategy around prevention, access, workforce, technology, and long-term sustainability. This strategy focuses on four initiatives: HEART, PACT, RISE AR, and THRIVE.
Healthy Eating, Active Recreation, and Transformation
• Improve population health through nutrition, physical activity, and chronic disease prevention initiatives
• Expand community-based partnerships and outreach, including faith-based and school-centered programs
• Integrated food-as-medicine, preventive care, and wellness infrastructure to reduce long-term disease burden
Promoting Access, Coordination, and Transformation
• Expand access to care through mobile services, telehealth, and regional care coordination networks
• Strengthen rural healthcare systems via clinically integrated networks, facility stabilization, and shared infrastructure
• Align workforce, transportation, and service delivery through data-driven regional planning and collaboration models
Recruitment, Innovation, Skills, and Education
• Build a sustainable rural healthcare workforce pipeline through expanded training, leadership development, and career pathways
• Recruit and retain providers in rural communities using incentives, mentorship, and long-term integration strategies
• Strengthen workforce capabilities through ongoing education, certification, and skill advancement programs.

KEY FINANCIAL INDICATORS: ARKANSAS AND SURROUNDING STATES, 2024
Arkansas
Hospitals charged this amount for the inpatient and outpatient care they provided in 2024: But patients and payer groups didn't pay the full amount of billed charges for various reasons. Government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, workers' comp programs, and others never pay the full hospital bill. Managed care plans and other insurers typically pay discounted amounts only, and individual patients often can't afford to pay some or any of the out-of-pocket costs related to their hospital bills. For those reasons, hospitals had to forfeit this much of their billed charges:
As a result, actual payments to hospitals were:
"At the same time, hospitals spent this much providing patient care services… …to patients needing care for this many adjusted patient days while being served. So the revenue excess (loss) was: In other words, hospitals made (or lost) this much on each of the equivalent days of care they provided to intpatients and outpatients: Yielding a "patient service" margin of:
In addition, hospitals also received revenues from normal, day-today operations from services other than healthcare provided to patients, such as space rental, cafeteria and gift shop sales, and operating gains: Which raise total operating income to:
