The charts and tables in this publication are intended to provide aggregate and comparative data on health care facility utilization in the District of Columbia. The source of the data is the DCHA’s Monthly Utilization Survey (self-reported by individual facilities). Please note, though not annotated on every graphic, the impact of the closure of Providence Hospital – Ascension in the Spring of 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in the Spring of 2020 can be seen in utilization patterns throughout this report.
The District of Columbia Hospital Association and our member hospitals thank the extraordinary nurses that are the heart of health care. May 6-12 is National Nurses Week. Thank you for being a lifesaver!

Join us in our fight to preserve DC Medicaid. Cuts will undermine the stability of our health care providers, increase emergency room wait times, raise the cost of care and threaten services for everyone who lives, works, and visits our nation’s Capital.
Cutting DC’s Federal Medicaid match would force hospital closures, workforce reductions, and budget and service cuts that will put public safety at risk. Please join us in our fight to preserve DC Medicaid by signing this petition because Medicaid cuts would undermine the stability of all our healthcare providers, increase emergency room wait times, raise the cost of care and threaten services for everyone who lives, works, and visits our nation’s Capital.
