Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $10.0 million spent. Fallon Medical Complex (FMC) provides quality health care regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, age, or ability to pay. Although reimbursement for services rendered is critical to the operation of FMC, it is recognized that not all individuals possess the ability to purchase these essential services. It is FMC's mission to serve the surrounding area by providing health care services to all community members.FMC provides medical services to individuals who are determined unable to purchase such services through FMC's Financial Assistance policy and guidelines. In addition to free and/or subsidized care, services are also provided at below cost rates to persons covered by government programs. Recognizing its mission to the community, services are provided to both Medicare and Medicaid patients. The unreimbursed value of providing care to these patients, based on established rates is $88,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025. FMC's Critical Access Hospital provides 24 hour x 7 days a week Emergency Room services, observation, Acute Care, Swing Bed services and onsite ancillary lab and diagnostic imaging services. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, FMC provided over 185 days of hospital services, 6,674 days of swing bed care, 900 ER visits, and over 8,589 outpatient visits.
  2. $1.1 million spent. FMC Community Clinic (Rural Health Clinic) operates under the same mission as FMC by providing family health care to over 3,917 patient visits per year. The three providers (one physician and two mid-levels) also provide ER coverage 24 hours, 7 days a week.
  3. $16,500 spent. One of FMC's operating philosophies states that education programs are necessary to enhance the competence of personnel in the healthcare system as well as to assist in the attainment of both personal and organizational goals. To this end, not only does the organization routinely budget $30,000 or more in continuing education for its employees, it also provides job shadowing to area students (typically 3-5 students per year) who may be interested in a healthcare career, in addition to offering routine Certified Nursing Assistant training programs (to about 5-10 prospective aides per year). FMC also hosts numerous college students seeking careers as doctors, physician assistants, and various other disciplines, such as nursing, radiology, laboratory technology, and physical therapy. FMC further believes that it is its responsibility to take a leadership role in informing the public about healthcare subjects of relevance or interest through community education. This objective is supported through a number of channels, which includes routine "Lunch and Learn" sessions provided by medical professionals (about 6 times per year), weekly public service announcements on the local radio station, and an annual health fair which is attended by people from all over the service area.
