The Children's Specialty Hospital

In a groundbreaking development for the state of New York, The Center for Discovery will open a first of its kind Children's Specialty Hospital that will transform the standard of care for complex conditions. The hospital, scheduled to open in 2023, will provide specialized, short-term care for children with complex disabilities, along with support and training for their families, caregivers, and school districts. The Specialty Hospital's intensive, integrated treatment model will enable each child to successfully live in the least restrictive setting. The hospital is expected to save New York State millions of dollars each year, with the goal of replicating this model throughout the state and the nation.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
