A high-quality, cost-effective health care delivery system requires financially healthy hospitals and health systems. Since fiscal year 1989, the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council (PHC4) has produced a series of financial reports measuring the financial condition and utilization of the Commonwealth’s hospitals and health systems. Volume One presents a financial profile of Pennsylvania’s general acute care (GAC) hospitals. Volume Two provides financial information about ambulatory surgery centers, and Volume Three addresses non-GAC (rehabilitation, long-term acute care, psychiatric and specialty) hospitals. The GAC hospital data included in Volume One is, for most GAC hospitals, on a fiscal year 2020 (FY20) basis. FY20 began on July 1, 2019 and ended on June 30, 2020. A small number of facilities operate on a December 31 or September 30 fiscal year end. Information contained in this report was derived from annual hospital financial statements, supplemented with additional data supplied by each hospital. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained herein. Each facility had the opportunity to review its data and to make corrections. The responsibility for data accuracy lies with each hospital. Pennsylvania GAC Hospitals. There were 164 GAC hospitals licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that operated during at least some portion of FY20. There were 166 GAC hospitals operating during the prior year. This report includes statewide and regional analysis based on data for all GAC hospitals. The individual hospital data tables include data for all 156 GAC hospitals that submitted FY20 data.
