Appendix: the Medicare cost-report view
$ thousands · HCRIS cost-report basis · as filed, QA-gated
Read this first: this is a partial, Medicare-centric view. Health centers are grant-funded: HRSA Section 330 grants, Medicaid, and sliding-fee revenue dominate their finance and are not on this cost report, which carries only an income statement. A thin or negative cost-report margin here is not whole-organization distress; the organization-level picture is the UDS section above.
Ratios tell you how this health center 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.

A condensed balance sheet is not shown for this health center: the public cost report does not carry substantive balance-sheet detail (assets, liabilities, and net assets that reconcile) for this provider. The income statement and ratio exhibit above are the reliable financial view here. We lead with those rather than render a hollow table.
