I don't understand why it matters if the hospital is for profit, or not for profit.
I would very much appreciate if someone could explain that to me as I'm not familiar with the health care system in the US.

Non profits are set up as a certain type of corporation that are
tax exempt. For instance, some religious institutions operate hospitals that are non profit.
I don't think there is any difference in quality one way or another. I am more interested in
how they are staffed.
