Mission

Baptist Health exists to provide quality patient centered services, promote and protect the voluntary not-for-profit healthcare system, provide quality health education, and respond to the changing health needs of the citizens of arkansas with christian compassion and personal concern consistent with our charitable purposes.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Statement of program service accomplishments - Baptist Health provides access to a full range of comprehensive health care services to individuals regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, disability, age, or ability to pay. Although reimbursement for services rendered is essential to Baptist Health for the continued operation, financial stability, and ability to provide needed new services and technology, it is recognized that not all individuals possess the ability to purchase health care and essential medical services.

Therefore, in keeping with Baptist Health's commitment to serve the residents of its community, we provide: - subsidized education to health care professionals, - free and subsidized care to those who cannot pay, - care to persons covered by governmental programs at reimbursement below our regular rates paid by other third parties, - health education and programs/services to enhance the health status of the community; and - in-kind donations to non-profit community agencies to enhance their services to the community.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

How it's funded, over time

Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2021: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $11k → $445k.

Left out of every figure on this page: $21M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Baptist Health Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Baptist Health raised.

From the IRS filings of Baptist Health’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

Baptist Health leans on a few funders — its largest provides 91% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Baptist Health.
