22 new patients applied<br />
for <strong>and</strong> received<br />
financial assistance.<br />
Continuing our commitment<br />
to mission <strong>and</strong> serving<br />
anyone in need of end-of-life<br />
care regardless of ability to<br />
pay, we provided 750 days<br />
of Charity <strong>Care</strong>.<br />
The total uncompensated<br />
expenses incurred by<br />
<strong>Rainbow</strong> in FY ‘12 was<br />
$144,000.<br />
For the first time this<br />
year, we were able to<br />
more accurately calculate<br />
the overhead expenses<br />
for community benefit<br />
related programs using<br />
an accounting guideline<br />
established by the Catholic<br />
Health Association of the<br />
United States.<br />
The addition of overhead <strong>and</strong><br />
increases in our community<br />
services led to a record<br />
breaking, $3,462,215 in<br />
community benefit.<br />
