- Fletcher Allen Health Care is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Its Board of Trustees meet monthly to represent a cross-section of the communities served by Fletcher Allen, including members from each of the four predecessor organizations (Fanny Allen Hospital, Medical Center Hospital of Vermont, University Health Center, and the University of Vermont).
- Each summer, members of the state's Health Policy Oversight Commission review Fletcher Allen's proposed budget and closely and frequently scrutinize its income statement and balance sheet. Every dollar, every asset and the bottom line are endorsed and approved in advance of each fiscal year to assure that our citizen's health care dollars are expended productively.
- Fletcher Allen publishes a Community Benefit Plan each year as an ongoing assessment of service area health care needs and to translate those needs into a coordinated approach to patient care. This work is conducted under standards of social accountability and community benefits as developed by the organization, The Community Benefit Plan utilizes the input and expertise of community leaders through key information sessions, in assessing community needs and developing appropriate and sound solutions to identified problems.
- In Fiscal Year 2006, Fletcher Allen provided approximately $14.4 million in free care to patients who are not able to cover all of their health care costs.
