The Greene County Medical Center generated over $18 million in 2020.

The report by the Iowa Hospital Association shows the medical center in Jefferson generated $14 million in its overall payroll with 267 non-contracted employees with over 97 positions. The employees also purchased goods and services locally, which generated another 127 jobs for a cumulative payroll impact of $18.6 million last year. Additionally, medical center employees spent just over $3 million on retail sales within the county and that resulted in $186,000 in state sales tax revenue.

In Iowa, the same study reported that hospitals directly employ over 76,000 people and also created over 67,000 jobs outside of the hospital sector. The Iowa Hospital Association is a voluntary membership organization which comprises hospitals and health system interests to business, government and consumers.
