Church ran hospitals were a charity first until they had to fight for their very survival. They are Non Profit Organizations. The hospital, nursing home, etc is non profit but only some board members within them make considerable money. My last employer which was a nursing home/retirement center had the word Presbyterian as the first word in the name. There was a Chaplain with daily devotion over closed circuit TV and that was it.

On the other hand another Hospital named after Mary ran by another denomination had Nuns ministering to patients including my then girl friend and later wife whom they hid her for several months. That hospital tanks to the mandates against conscience by federal government was sold. Every hospital but one in my nearby city has church origins. The one that isn't is state owned and ran. Oh yea The Baptist hospital was bought up by the Catholic hospital due to it's nearly going under money wise. The Methodist still have on in the area by name. The Catholic hospital was also sold in the past year due to pending government mandates against it's church doctrines.

Hospitals have gone the way of Universities....most of the well known...Harvard etc. were all started by Christian Churches...now they have all become liberal colleges promoting the progressive agenda.

When a conservative speaks at these colleges it’s amazing the reception they are given....the students hound and interrupt with a host of other antics to these speakers. Shameful but is the time of which we are living.
