Organizations Filed Purposes: TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE, HIGH QUALITY, AND ACCESSIBLE HEALTH CARE AND TO PROMOTE A HEALTHY COMMUNITY.

GOOD SHEPHERD HEALTH CARE SYSTEM (GSHCS) SERVED 1,560 INPATIENTS OVER 4,594 PATIENT DAYS, 74,398 OUTPATIENTS, AND 20,225 PATIENTS IN OUR EMERGENCY CENTER DURING FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019. ALTHOUGH REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED IS CRITICAL TO THE OPERATIONS AND STABILITY OF GSHCS, NOT ALL INDIVIDUALS HAVE THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE ESSENTIAL MEDICAL SERVICES. GSHCS PROVIDES CARE TO PERSONS COVERED BY GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS AT DEEPLY DISCOUNTED RATES AND TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY. THE UNREIMBURSED VALUE OF PROVIDING CARE TO THESE PATIENTS WAS 2,635,666 WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT, AND AN ADDITIONAL 5,492,504 OF DIRECT CHARITY CARE TO OUR COMMUNITY. RECOGNIZING OUR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY, SERVICES WERE ALSO PROVIDED TO BOTH MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS. THE UNREIMBURSED VALUE OF PROVIDING CARE TO THESE PATIENTS DURING THE YEAR WAS 49,857,122. THE UNREIMBURSED AMOUNTS ARE VALUED AT CHARGES FOREGONE. OUR EMERGENCY CENTER IS OPEN AROUND-THE-CLOCK TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, VISITORS, AND TRAVELERS, WITHOUT REGARD TO ONE'S ABILITY TO PAY.
