What Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice Inc does
Mission
Samaritan is the preeminent provider of hospice and palliative (comfort) care, grief support, education, advocacy, and other life-enhancing services. We provide unparalleled services with respect, dignity and compassion for all people affected by serious, progressive illness or grief, contributing to the health and well-being of our patients, their families and our community. Guided by a deep sense of commitment and the ethic of human service, we provide care that is both life-giving and live-receiving through the incorporation of the philosophy, art and science of caring. Samaritan is an independent not-for-profit, non-sectarian organization serving people in atlantic, burlington, camden, gloucester and mercer counties who are coping with serious illness or grief.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Home/community care - people confronting a serious progressive illness are often plunged into unfamiliar, confusing and stressful situations. Spouses, adult children, and other caregivers are suddenly faced with medical decisions and financial and legal responsibilities for which they are often untrained and unprepared. These stresses can deprive them of the one thing they need most: time together. Samaritan home/community hospice care helps people find the time they need to focus on what's most important at this stage of life: the friends and family they want to be with, the feelings they want to share, and the words they need to say. The goal of samaritan's care is not to cure the disease, but to control its effects so that patients can spend their last days with dignity in the place where they live (home, assisted living or nursing home) and remain as comfortable, alert and pain-free as possible. Considered the compassionate model for people facing life-limiting illness or injury, the hospice philosophy offers a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to each patient's and family's needs and family…
$31,362,748 spent$35,451,574 earned by the program73% of program spendingInpatient - the samaritan inpatient hospice centers provide the comfort of short-term continuous samaritan care in a home-like setting for patients whose pain, symptoms and special needs require a more acute level of hospice care than is recommended within the home. While in the inpatient center, you and your loved one will receive from samaritan staff the same services that you would in a home setting - plus the more acute 24-hour care your loved one now requires. The cente'r' welcoming environment encourages families and friends to feel "at home" while spending quality time - whenever and for as long as they wish. Family members of all ages may visit 24 hours a day; family pets are welcome by appointment. A sleeper recliner in each bedroom allows a family member to spend the night at bedside comfortably.
$7,198,597 spent$7,275,758 earned by the program17% of program spendingAnother related field where samaritian has expended its service to the community is in palliative medical care. Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses, social workers and other specialists who work together with a patient's doctors to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment. Although palliative medicine was initially a small component of samaritan's services, this division has grown into a significant part of the overall services.
$4,032,047 spent$3,187,187 earned by the program9% of program spendingAs stated in samaritan's mission summary and our respective exempt purpose achievements, an important part of our comprehensive service to our community is the compassionate support for the grief that our patients and families experience. Samaritan provides such support on a regular basis through its center for grief support, where we provide bereavement, counseling, crisis intervention/debriefing, support groups and community outreach programs - all offering hope for tomorrow for those grieving today. Samaritan similarly serves the community through its transitions program, which serves community members who are coping with life-changes caused by their advanced illness but who are not yet ready for hospice care.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $59M to $68M (+15%).
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: 2021 8% · 2022 3% · 2023 3% · 2024 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 11 funders to 19 funders, grant income rose $118k → $171k.
13 of 57 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of SAMARITAN HEALTHCARE & HOSPICE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 57 funders by total. 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
SAMARITAN HEALTHCARE & HOSPICE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
76% 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 SAMARITAN HEALTHCARE & HOSPICE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 59% · 2018 36% · 2019 27% · 2020 21% · 2021 53% · 2022 53% · 2023 16% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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 long its funders stay
33% of SAMARITAN HEALTHCARE & HOSPICE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
SAMARITAN HEALTHCARE & HOSPICE INC draws 61% of its grant income from funders outside New Jersey, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $681k arriving through sponsors registered in 10 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. 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.
