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. $320.0 million spent. Patient Care: A 501 (c)(3) nonprofit medical group that is exclusively affiliated with PIH Health. The group is comprised of more than 270 primary care physicians and specialists who coordinate care from diagnosis to recovery. Patient Care in Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Employees: 1,243 PIH Health Physician Locations: 31 medical offices; 7 urgent care centers Total Medical Office Visits: 854,710
  2. $3.5 million spent. Financial Assistance, also known as charity care, is defined as free or discounted health services provided to individuals who cannot afford to pay and who meet the eligibility criteria of the organization's financial assistance policy. In providing services to those patients participating in means-tested government health programs, such as Medi-Cal, PIH Health Physicians realizes a collective net loss each fiscal year due to the shortfall created when the payments received from these programs are less than the cost of caring for public program beneficiaries. Number of persons served by financial assistance and means-tested government programs: 11,934
  3. $3.4 million spent. Other Community Benefit Services: Community Health Improvement services and Community Benefit Operations, Health Professions Education, and Subsidized Health Services are comprised of the following: COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES: Defined as community health improvement activities, which extend beyond patient care activities. These programs include: Community education, support groups, COVID-19 vaccination clinic and the Health and Wellness Center at Whittier First Day. Snapshot of Outcomes: * 193 community members were reached through a variety of community health improvement activities. HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION: This category includes educational programs for physicians, nurses, students and other health professionals when education is necessary or required by state law, accrediting body or health profession society. PIH Health Physician programs include the Student Education (ancillary and resident preceptorship). Snapshot of Outcomes: * 66 student interns and physician residents studying to become healthcare professionals were provided with mentorship, preceptorship and training opportunities. SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES: Subsidized services are clinical programs, which are provided despite a financial loss so significant that negative margins remain after removing the effects of financial assistance, bad debt and Medi-Cal shortfalls. Nevertheless, the service is provided because it meets an identified community need and, if no longer offered, would either be unavailable in the area or fall to the responsibility of government or another nonprofit organization to provide. PIH Health Physician services provided include Palliative Care Program, and Urgent Cares. Snapshot of Outcomes: * 7,157 individuals were served by PIH Health Physicians Subsidized Health Services. Total number of persons served by all categories: 7,416 For additional information, please refer to PIH Health's community benefit report at PIHHealth.org/CBAnnualReport
