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 Northwest Hospital Center lists 17 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis with MCC, Vaginal Delivery without Complicating Diagnoses, Simple Pneumonia and Pleurisy with MCC. 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.
