What it reported doing in 2024

Jbh has provided health education and outreach in a variety of forms within the 11-county area that includes several school partnerships, mentoring, health programs, teaching, job shadowing and volunteering. Jbh hosts support groups, training classes and lectures series for health and safety related topics. Employees staff community health fairs and open health screenings. The ronald mcdonald care mobile provides free medical care to uninsured and underinsured children in five northern counties. This 40-foot mobile unit houses two patient exam rooms, a central waiting room, and a sterilization area. The care mobile is completely funded by philanthropy from the mercyhealth development foundation, mercyhealth volunteer association, and the ronald mcdonald charities of madison. Javon bea hospital has implemented a plan for the region's community needs assessment and has strategized priorities to assist with chronic disease and maternal and child health. In fy25 jbh conducted numerous patient outreach campaigns aimed at increasing preventive care screening rates, developed a fast-track for colonoscopy scheduling, and expanded remote patient monitoring for congestive heart failure (chf) patients. Our obstetric (ob) service line adopted birth equity initiatives including implicit bias training, social determinates of health (sdoh) screening, and community outreach to increase awareness of maternal health disparities. Jbh worked to increase community outreach and site visits by the ronald mcdonald care mobile, which offers free preventive health care including immunizations, screenings, physicals, and well child exams to children who are uninsured or underinsured in the rockford region. Jbh also provides language assistance to patients and their families who need to communicate with medical personnel for treatment and meeting space for various medical and social service support groups. Funds were also used to support healthcare conditions throughout the state of Illinois.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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 the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
