The money

$ thousands · HCRIS cost-report basis · as filed, QA-gated

Ratios tell you how this hospital is doing. Statements tell you what kind of organization it is, and where the money comes from. Every figure below traces to a public cost-report filing, shown as filed. A ratio renders only when every input is reported in the filing; a year missing its core lines is not shown; a year whose balance sheet does not reconcile is labeled. Not audited by Astrelis.

FY23 operating and total margins are not shown: they compute from near-zero net patient revenue, so the ratio is not meaningful (display gate; statement values unchanged).
FY25 net patient A/R is not shown: gross A/R was not reported on the filing, making the derived net figure spurious (AR quality flag).
