WakeMed, Rex Spar Over Level of Charity Care

RALEIGH — As a system, UNC Health Care and Rex Healthcare reported nearly $250 million in community benefit in 2010, compared with WakeMed’s $180 million. WakeMed officials counter that UNC hospitals are located in Chapel Hill, not Wake County, so much of UNC’s uncompensated care benefits people outside of WakeMed’s service area.
