Fee for service: help hospitals and health care systems support diverse and local companies while saving money and advancing their health equity goals; collecting and distributing trauma and injury dataincluding demographic, clinical and outcome data to help hospitals achieve compliance while analyzing current performance and informing improvement initiatives; provide comprehensive clinical continuing education for emergency and critical care staff; other ad-hoc requests from community partners

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 total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
