ABSTRACT 

One objective of hospital community benefit spending is to enhance community health, especially for vulnerable groups. Nonprofit hospitals have the potential to make a significant impact in addressing the social needs of communities through the strategic alignment of their community benefit initiatives with the specific needs of the community they serve. This alignment, however, does not always occur.
