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 2021 to 2022, from $183M to $165M (−10%).

Who funds it, year by year

Left out of every figure on this page: $10M from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest The Jewish Healthcare Foundation of Pittsburgh); $1.2M from 5 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Upmc Group). These are real filings, and they are not money THE JEWISH HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION OF PITTSBURGH raised.
