Where this hospital sits among its peers
A position, not a grade. Each line names the figure, how it is measured, and the hospitals it is placed among: critical access hospitals in the same state and the same bed-size band, each on its latest filed year. Under it, the same figure across every hospital that filed for the year — a larger set, and a different one.

- One row per registration in the register. This page is the row for this 340B ID; a figure that reads across a record and its locations counts the rows the register lists under this record as well.
- As of
- November 6, 2026 — the date of the register file this record was last listed in.
- Contract-pharmacy arrangements
- Each arrangement the register files between a covered entity and a pharmacy counts once. An arrangement counts among those with no end date where the register prints no termination date for it, and among the rest where it prints one.
