Does Broadlawns Still Need Your Property Tax Dollars? 

Broadlawns Medical Center is the fourth largest tax levying entity in Polk County – behind only Polk County, the Des Moines Public Schools, and the City of Des Moines.  Yet, the financial vitality of our county’s publicly-funded hospital has improved dramatically over the past several years and the hospital is now poised to make its first-ever property tax cut. 

PLEASE JOIN US to learn about Broadlawns’ financial status, how it has come about, and what it means to you – the property taxpayer.   Take part in an important discussion about the role of Broadlawns Medical Center (and other safety net hospitals across the nation) in the post-Affordable Care Act era, and in turn what level of property tax support is appropriate going forward.
