What Good Shepherd Health Care System does
Mission
To provide compassionate, high quality, and accessible health care and to promote a healthy community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Good Shepherd Health Care System (gshcs) served 2,227 inpatients over 7,266 patient days, 97,473 outpatients, and 25,732 patients in our emergency center during fiscal year 2024-2025. 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 4,413,162 written off as bad debt, and an additional 6,721,925 of direct charity care to our community. (see continuation on schedule o)

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $343M to $388M (+13%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 7% · 2021 4% · 2022 2% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of GOOD SHEPHERD HEALTH CARE SYSTEM’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (1% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

GOOD SHEPHERD HEALTH CARE SYSTEM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% 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 GOOD SHEPHERD HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 73% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
