Overview

Mission

The Network is a not-for-profit consortium of approximately 21 hospitals serving over 125,000 people in Western Kansas with a mission to provide a mechanism for its members to collaborate and pool resources.

What it reported doing in 2025

Education: Organizing resource groups and educational programs for a variety of clinical and non-clinical member staff. To help facilitate and promote remote education oppurtunities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
