Financial anchor year: FY21. Margin and revenue are as filed for FY21. Balance-sheet measures (current ratio, equity financing, days in A/R) use FY24, the latest filing whose balance sheet reconciled as filed. Days cash on hand is FY24, the most recent year that passed the display gate. Every tile below states its own fiscal year; nothing is carried forward or estimated.
The read
A hospital in Helena, MT. It ran an operating loss of 27.8% in FY21 on $27.1M of operating revenue. It held 227 days of cash on hand in FY24, its most recent reported liquidity (94th percentile among Psychiatric hospitals on liquidity). Only a single comparable reporting year is available, so trend context is limited. Including nonoperating items, the all-in result was positive at 27.5%. These figures come from filings spanning FY21–FY24: read each by its own year rather than as one current picture.

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.
