What it reported doing in 2022

Rural Health Clinics: Oroville's Hospital has a variety of clinics available to the community surrounding Oroville. Total visits to the clinics during 2023 were 345,824, of which 30% were Medi-Cal, 47% were Medicare and 23% were Other Payors. Oroville Hospital continues to examine the health needs of the community and works to provide those services. Through the development of hospital-based community clinics, Oroville Hospital has improved and increased access to health services throughout the Oroville community. The majority of our outpatient services accept all insurance plans including the State of California's Medi-Cal program. Our community has a disproportionate share of low/no income families. Access to health care services would be extremely difficult for this group were it not for hospital-based clinics. The State of California's Medi-Cal program reimbursement payments to physicians are set at a rate that makes it difficult for an independent physician to accept Medi-Cal patients. As a result, many health care providers throughout the state and our community have eliminated Medi-Cal patients from their roster.Oroville Hospital also provides a medical concierge service. The Medical Concierge is a patient advocate that works closely with individuals to determine their needs and improve access to providers. They navigate patients through the healthcare system by coordinating and identifying a primary care provider, specialists, surgeons and many other needs.Health Services provided in the clinics are: Allergy and Immunology * Anti-Coagulation * Bariatric Services * Cardiology * Chiropractic * Colorectal * Dermatology * Dentistry * ENT * Endocrinology * Gastroenterology * General Surgery * Internal Medicine * Mental Health * Nephrology * Neurology * OB/GYN * Oncology * Ophthalmology * Orthopedics * Pain Mgmt * Pediatrics * Podiatry * Primary Care * Psychiatry * Pulmonary *Telemedicine * Rheumatology * Urgent Care * Urology * Vascular *

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 99% 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

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
