Mission

Dedicating our lives to improving yours.

What it reported doing in 2024

Russell Regional Hospital provides a variety of health care services including acute inpatient care, swingbed inpatient care, outpatient care, rural health clinic, and long-term care services to patients in need of care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
