Flint Hills Community Health Center is poised to end 2021 with yet another positive financial balance.
According to the latest monthly financial report presented to the FHCHC Board of Directors Tuesday, the health center saw a net gain for the month of November of $249. While the gain is significantly lower than other totals over the course of the year, it was still highly favorable than the projected loss of $48,000.
Also, the center’s year-to-date net gain is now at $585,000. Health Center CEO Renee Hively says the lower gain for November was attributed to several factors including the absence of providers due to vacations, maternity leave and the holidays as well as recent expenditures to maintain certain infrastructure.
Despite the lower gain in November, Hively says the health center will still end the year in a positive financial position.
In other business, the health center will be working in the coming days to amend some minor data errors associated with its annual clinical metric data report to the Health Resources and Services Administration. According to Hively, the corrections are minor and involve some data input from clinical metrics that are monitored each month as part of the center’s CQI report.
She says the corrections are needed due to programming issues from the center’s vendor located in Miami, FL.
The FHCHC Board of Directors will reconvene for its monthly meeting in January.
