Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $13.6 million spent. SMP Health St. Andrew's (Health Center) is a 25-bed acute care hospital and a senior apartment facility located in Bottineau, North Dakota. SMP Health - St. Andrew's has been a part of the community since 1913. Our mission is to provide services to all who come to us for care; this is something that we are very proud of. Our ability to better the lives of those most in need is the core of our beliefs and knowing that we can make a difference in the lives of those we serve. In addition, we believe that through our leadership and presence in the community that we have been and will continue to be an essential part of the healthcare delivery team. Statement continued on Schedule O.St. Andrew's Hospital is designated as a Critical Access Hospital and has had the designation since July 2001. There were 435 acute patient days and 5,185 swing-bed days. The percent of occupancy was 61.6%.We continue to utilize "The Guide for Planning and Reporting Community Benefit" book that was prepared by the Catholic Health Care Association to help determine what qualifies as a community benefit. We attend a variety of educational opportunities throughout the year to provide direction in reporting on our benefits to the community.The Health Center provides healthcare services to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than established rates. Since the Health Center does not pursue collection of these amounts, they are not reported as patient service revenue. The estimated cost of providing these services was $30,000 for the year ended September 30, 2025, calculated by multiplying the ratio of cost to gross charges for the Health Center by the gross uncompensated charges associated with providing charity care to its patients.The Health Center also commits significant time and resources to endeavors and critical services which meet otherwise unfulfilled community needs. Many of these activities are sponsored with the knowledge that they will not be self-supporting or financially viable.
