The New York Times is looking into nonprofit hospitals, which receive billions of dollars in tax breaks every year, to see whether they are fulfilling their charitable missions.
We’re investigating how people who are uninsured or on Medicaid are treated compared with wealthier patients. Do well-connected or rich patients get different kinds of treatment? Are poorer patients ever moved to other hospitals, or encouraged to seek care elsewhere?
We need your help. If you are a doctor, nurse or technician at a nonprofit hospital in New York City, we’d love to hear from you. We are also eager to hear from medical students and medical residents in New York City and from emergency service workers who help transport patients to hospitals.
We will not publish any part of your submission without contacting you first. We may use your contact information to follow up with you.
