Experimental public-interest crosswalk · May 2026 data
Which rural hospitals could those state totals represent?
Newsweek and CHQPR reported state totals, not a named hospital list. This page makes an educated, reproducible estimate from CHQPR’s hospital financial tables—and keeps that estimate separate from our ownership and control statuses.This is an estimate, not a leaked or published hospital list.
Review the estimated list ↓These hospital names are an educated estimate, not a CHQPR-published named list and not a prediction that any particular hospital will close. Website ownership/control statuses are separate from closure risk.
What CHQPR actually published
State-by-state totals plus hospital-level margins and reserves. The reported national totals are 720 at risk and 294 at immediate risk.
How names were estimated
CHQPR published May 2026 state totals and hospital financial tables, but not a named risk list. This crosswalk ranks loss-making hospitals within each state using the published financial fields, then reconciles the result exactly to each state total.
What our color means
Red, orange, green, and gray still describe our documented ownership or control research. Closure risk is shown in the dossier, not as an extra map layer.
