Overview

Mission

In keeping with our Christian heritage and tradition of service, the mission of Deaconess is to advance the health and well-being of our community with a compassionate and caring spirit.

What it reported doing in 2024

Deaconess Regional Healthcare Services Illinois owns and operates Deaconess Illinois Medical Center, Inc. and Deaconess Illinois Transcare EMS. Deaconess Illinois Medical Center is a 106-bed acute care hospital located in Marion, Illinois. The Hospital provides inpatient, outpatient, and emergency care services for residents of southern Illinois.The Organization provides health care services to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than established rates. Since the Organization does not pursue collection of these amounts, they are not reported as patient service revenue. The estimated cost of providing these services was approximately $407,000 for the year ended September 30, 2025, calculated by multiplying the ratio of cost to gross charges for the Organization by the gross uncompensated charges associated with providing charity care to its patients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
