4/8/2026
Total Impact Exceeded $714 Million
BIRMINGHAM, AL, April 8, 2026 – With more than 710,000 patient encounters in 2025, Grandview Health delivered on its commitment to provide quality healthcare for the greater Birmingham community. Grandview’s 2025 Community Benefit Report shows care extended beyond its hospital and physician practices, contributing more than $714 million to the region through charity/uncompensated care provided, capital dollars reinvested in services and facilities, employee payroll, charitable projects and payment of more than $56 million in taxes to support local schools and other civic resources.
Grandview used its resources to increase access and strengthen services through more than $37 million in projects. Grandview acquired North Shelby Family Health, P.C., and The Vascular Institute of Birmingham, P.C., and recruited over 30 physicians and mid-level providers across multiple specialties. The system continued to grow its ambulatory footprint with the opening of a 6-operating room, single-specialty Urology Ambulatory Surgery Center. These reinvestments in services will benefit local residents and serve as an important resource for patients who utilize Grandview from communities up to 250 miles away.
“We are here to care for our patients in the place we all call home,” said Daniel McKinney, chief executive officer of Grandview Health. “Healthcare is central to quality of life, and we offer advanced medical services in the greater Birmingham area to make it easy to access the care you need. It is our privilege to transform lives every day and help patients manage their health at every stage of life.”
Area families grew with the help of Grandview Medical Center as 4,000 babies were delivered in 2025. To better serve patients, Grandview completed its third expansion of women’s services since opening in 2015.
Keeping patients safe and improving the quality of care remains a priority, and this focus has led to significant reductions in hospital-acquired infections (HAI) and improving our care of sepsis patients. Within the HAI space, Grandview clinical teams were able to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) by 71% and our Women's Health Services team achieved a 0% infection rate for hysterectomy procedures.
Clinical efforts to ensure timely recognition and treatment of sepsis cases remained a primary priority throughout the year. Grandview successfully reduced the rate of septic shock mortality by 8.2%.
Emergency medicine is a critical service, with more than 70,000 visits to the emergency room at Grandview Medical Center and its affiliated freestanding emergency room in Trussville. Life-saving, medically necessary care was provided to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, with more than $245 million in charity and uncompensated care in 2025.
Grandview and its employees also support local organizations that make a difference, especially those addressing social determinants of health. Grandview gives back through service projects such as the annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive for the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama and Grace Klein Community and contributions to charitable organizations such as Firehouse Ministries, Grace House Ministries and Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama. To celebrate the hospital’s 10th anniversary in 2025, Grandview’s management team participated in two days volunteering at Bundles of Hope and Grace Klein Community.
Grandview’s annual payroll of more than $293 million supports the delivery of around-the-clock care by a team of physicians, nurses and support staff, all passionate about serving patients. Their compassion and skills make a difference in the lives of neighbors, friends and the larger community.
“We have immense gratitude for every member of our team, and we are investing in resources to support them in their work and a culture that attracts and retains these talented people,” said McKinney. “This team is passionate about delivering quality care to those who are counting on us. We have an unwavering commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence, and doing the right thing every day for those who trust us with their care.”
Support for the future healthcare workforce includes training the next generation of medical professionals. Grandview is one of two teaching sites for the Baptist Health Medical Education Program, training approximately 100 residents in the internal medicine, diagnostic radiology, general surgery, and transitional year programs.
Grandview also works with 24 undergraduate nursing academic programs across the state, hosting more than 250 senior nursing preceptor students and over 105 nursing clinical groups.
Since 2016, Grandview has collaborated with Hoover City Schools and Riverchase Career Connection Center to serve as a clinical rotation site for graduating high school seniors.
