Overview
Mission
To provide an excellent education in the health sciences, fostering the development of competent and ethical professionals committed to the well-being of the community through teaching, research, and service.
What it reported doing in 2024
Affiliated hospital administration - to provide clinical teaching and primary healthcare services within the region. The hospital is organized to operate a school of medicine which is accredited by the council of graduate medical education(acgme).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 70% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and the available information about grant readiness federal audit leaves an important question unanswered.
