Average payment per documented procedure at Valley Hospital is $24,398 — among the higher-cost facilities in the dataset. Combined cost-and-quality value comes to 47/100 — a middling result, reflecting either average quality at average cost or trade-offs in one direction.
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 Valley Hospital lists 17 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Heart Failure and Shock with CC, Spinal Fusion (Non-Cervical) with MCC, Respiratory System Diagnosis with Ventilator Support >96 Hours. 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.
