Mission

On april 28, 2014 the board passed a resolution to contribute up to $50,000,000 as a restricted contribution in support of developing an institution of health education. All assets that remain following the completed unwinding of the old hospital business will be gifted to support an institution of health education.as noted in previous filings, the organization expects to dissolve following complete unwinding of all business and any remaining assets will be gifted to arkansas colleges of health education in support of an institution of health education.

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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.
