Editorial: Carilion's charity care
Carilion makes charity strides

As a nonprofit hospital, Carilion Clinic has obligations to the community that it serves.
Until last year, Carilion officials thought one way of fulfilling that obligation was hounding people with unpaid medical bills in court.

Carilion's answer? By absorbing costs.
The truth? It will be passed along to other patient's that are able to pay by way of higher prices.
