Vincent hospital, located in santa fe, new mexico, is a community-based, private, nonprofit hospital serving more than 300,000 people in seven counties in a 19,000-square-mile area, encompassing north central and northeastern new mexico and southern colorado. St. Vincent was founded in 1865 by the sisters of charity of cincinatti and is new mexico's first hospital and the largest private employer in the city of santa fe. St. Vincent's mission is as follows: our healing ministry is to improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve. We care for all the people of santa fe, northern new mexico and southern colorado, regardless of their ability to pay. Our vision is exceptional medicine, extraordinary care, every person, every day. In april 2008, christus health and st. Vincent regional medical center finalized the formation of a partnership that allowed st. Vincent to benefit from the resources of christus health's international 60-hospital system. St. Vincent is accredited by the joint commission on the accreditation of healthcare organizations (jcaho). St. Vincent hospital is the only trauma center (level iii) in north central/northeastern new mexico. As the largest hospital facility north of albuquerque, new mexico and south of pueblo, colorado, st. Vincent has 204 licensed beds, 39 physician and outpatient locations, and 430 medical staff representing 37 medical specialties (143 employed physicians). In fiscal year 2023, st. Vincent hospital served nearly half a million individuals, including 48,183 visits to our emergency department; 308,340 outpatient visits; 10,090 total surgeries; and 11,026 admissions. St. Vincent hospital provides direct care services, including those provided by employed physician practices, to inpatients and outpatients, including indigent, medicaid, other payor classes and uninsured patients. St. Vincent's community benefit includes the cost of providing uncompensated care and services for patients with limited or no means to pay, government programs where expenses exceed payments, and non-billed services directed to improving the health and well-being of all members of the community we serve. St. Vincent hospital provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient services to the people from the communities it serves. It conducts its activities and serves all patients without regard to race, color, creed, religion, gender, orientation, disability, age or national origin. By collaborating with communities, schools, churches, businesses and other healthcare organizations, st. Vincent hospital has strengthened its role as a major provider of comprehensive, accessible healthcare services. These partnerships within the community have been a blessing by helping st. Vincent better serve those in need. These partnerships help to insure that the people of our community receive integrated health care and have access to an array of services that addresses the social determinants of good health. Additionally, our dedicated associates and volunteers play a significant role in contributing to improving the health and well-being of the community by dedicating their time to support community health activity.

“Other government sponsored services in addition to the provision of charity care and other community services, st. Vincent hospital provides services to persons covered under government-sponsored programs, including medicare and tricare. The unreimbursed costs of these services are reported to the state of new mexico but are not included in reports prepared following catholic health association guidelines. Christus health, a member organization, provides services to persons covered under the federal medicare program, and in fact, this is the largest single payor classification of patients served by the health system. The payment rate for inpatient services is on a per-case rate, calculated based on the diagnostic-related group (drg) into which the patient is categorized. Medicare reimburses outpatient services based on its fee schedule.”

“Community benefit reporting - charity care and medicaid christus health, a member organization, adheres to the catholic health association's a guide for planning and reporting community benefit (2015). Community benefit, reported as unpaid costs, includes both charity care and community services. To the limits of its resources, christus health is an institution of purely public charity; thus, the most tangible expression of christus health's charitable purpose is the provision of health care services to those persons who are unable to pay. This falls into two categories: charity care and unpaid government indigent care. In keeping with the mission, values, and vision of christus health, st. Vincent hospital provides charity care services in a manner that respects the dignity of the patients and their families. Charity care is provided without charge or at a charge that is less than the usual charge for such services. The determination as to the amount to be charged, if any, is made according to a patient's ability to pay as determined by established eligibility criteria. For uninsured patients whose economic circumstances place them at or under 200 percent of the federal poverty level (fpl), services are provided without any expectation of payment. No patient is refused necessary medical care based on his or her ability to pay. St. Vincent hospital provides direct care services, including those provided by employed physician practices, to inpatients and outpatients, including indigent, medicaid, other payor classes and uninsured patients, totaling approximately 366,301 encounters. St. Vincent hospital's community benefit includes the cost of providing uncompensated care and services for patients with limited or no means to pay, government programs where expenses exceed payments, and non-billed services directed at improving the health and well-being of all members of the community we serve. St. Vincent hospital is an active participant in new mexico's medicaid programs. Those programs seek to provide payment for health care services to individuals who meet certain financial and other requirements, which include evaluation of both assets and income. New mexico has accepted the opportunity to expand medicaid eligibility through the health care reform act. This will have a positive impact in promoting the ability of st. Vincent to provide care to this larger population.”
