Abstract
This study assessed the importance of the hospital sector to a regional economy by examining the estimated effects of direct and indirect hospital spending on the income and employment of a metropolitan region in Iowa and Illinois. The evaluation included the role of hospital services as a regional "export." In addition, the stabilizing impact of hospital spending during business cycles was examined. Results of the study indicated that the hospitals played a vital role in the economic stability and growth of the local community.
