Overview

Mission

Upmc lancaster's mission while in operation as a charitable organization was dedicated to maintaining and improving the health and quality of life for all persons of the central Pennsylvania area.

What it reported doing in 2023

Upmc pinnacle lancaster was a full-service acute care hospital with 214 licensed beds offering a range of services including behavioral health, emergency care, cardiac care, a certified primary stroke center, imaging services, an orthopedic and spine program, and surgery. The hospital served the greater lancaster county area and provided care for all patients regardless of their ability to pay. After careful assessment of health care services in and around lancaster county, a decision was made to consolidate upmc pinnacle lancaster and upmc lititz effective 2/28/19. The hospital moved inpatient services from upmc pinnacle lancaster to upmc lititz and combined the strengths of the outstanding patient care teams from both hospitals, unifying employees and expanding upmc pinnacle's high quality of inpatient care and efficient operations in the most modern facility. As a result of this move, upmc pinnacle lancaster hospital ceased operations on feb. 28, 2019.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 88% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
