WHEN: Friday, June 22, 2012; 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

 

WHERE: San Leandro Senior Center (13909 E. 14th Street, San Leandro, CA 94578) 

 

WHY: Non-profit hospitals, like San Leandro Hospital, are granted a tax exempt status by the Board of Equalization under California Revenue and Tax Code Section 214.  The granting of the tax exempt status requires hospitals to meet certain specific community benefit requirements without regard to the value of the tax exemption.

Come to hear a discussion on the history of this issue and current thoughts on the adequacy of current regulations.

This meeting is co-hosted by the Ad-hoc Committee to Review the Future of San Leandro Hospital and Community Health Care.
