The nonprofit hospital system's parallel grantmaking — the hospitals are in Hospitals; their money is here
The CHI grants: Parkview Health, the region's largest nonprofit employer (its system history is in the Wealth and Hospitals sections), runs a Community Health Improvement grant program funded from each hospital's net operating surplus. For Allen County, Parkview Regional Medical Center and Affiliates announced in January 2025 more than $1.6 million in program grants plus more than $1.2 million for Parkview's Community Nursing program; the system's 2026 round, announced in April 2026, awarded more than $2.3 million to nonprofits across northern Indiana and northwest Ohio and a further $1.2 million to Community Nursing. Grant priorities follow the system's triennial Community Health Needs Assessments — in Allen County, obesity and food insecurity, maternal and child health, mental health and access to care.
The benefit ledger: Parkview states its wider community-benefit contribution in Schedule H terms in its own releases: for 2024, more than $262 million in community health improvement and community building across the region, alongside more than $334 million in charity and uncompensated care; for 2023 its release stated more than $103 million in community improvement and more than $476 million in uncompensated care. The two years' figures are carried here as the system itself states them; the categories are defined by the IRS hospital schedule, and their balance swings with what is counted as subsidized service in a given year. The region's other hospital-linked giver is the PHP Foundation, the Physicians Health Plan insurer's charitable arm, documented making community grants such as $25,000 to Easterseals Northeast Indiana in 2020.
