Ownership is non-profit, the dominant pattern in U.S. acute care. Non-profit hospitals generally reinvest operating margins rather than distribute them; the federal CMS measure set treats them identically to other ownership categories for reporting purposes. The CMS payment record for Fairview Hospital lists 16 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Heart Failure and Shock with MCC, Vaginal Delivery without Complicating Diagnoses, Heart Failure and Shock with CC. Emergency services are available, which is the norm for acute-care hospitals and a meaningful factor for any patient choosing a facility for unplanned care.
