South Broward Hospital District Maintains Lowest Tax Rate in History
The South Broward Hospital District Board of Commissioners has approved maintaining its millage rate at 0.0805, the lowest recorded since it was established in 2025 after years of reductions. This decision reflects a commitment to fiscal responsibility and community-focused governance while allowing Memorial Healthcare System to continue expanding services without increasing tax burdens. The current millage rate is projected to generate $8.3 million in gross tax revenue, which will be used for statutory obligations such as Medicaid Match contributions and property appraiser fees. No funds from the tax will go toward uncompensated care at Memorial Healthcare System; instead, these services are supported by operating income. Memorial Healthcare CEO Shane Strum emphasized that financial discipline enables continued investment in facilities, technology, and patient access without increasing taxes.
