What it reported doing in 2015

Central Valley General Hospital provides quality medical health care regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, age, or ability to pay. Although reimbursement for services rendered is critical to the operation and stability of Central Valley General Hospital, the organization recognizes that not all individuals possess the ability to pay for essential medical services. Adventist Health's vision is to enhance the health of the communities where we live and serve, by engaging our community and our patients in a new definition of a partnership for personal community health. In keeping with this commitment to serve all members of the community, the following will be considered when individuals who need health care cannot pay: providing free care and/or subsidized careproviding care to persons covered by governmental programs at below costproviding health/welness activities and community education programsNot only does Central Valley General Hospital provide low-cost care to individuals covered by government programs and those unable to afford health care, but it also helps patients find and access private and governmental resources for health care benefits. Central Valley General Hospital recognizes below-cost reimbursement as charity and uncompensated care in meeting its mission to the entire community. The unreimbursed value of providing care to these patients in 2015 was $11,194,751. Inpatient services in 2015 were provided to 5,103 patients. These services included: Babies delivered - 2,416 Surgeries performed - 939 Radiology procedures performed - 4,531 Laboratory tests performed - 103,346Outpatient services in 2015 were provided to 415,567 patients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
