ST LUKES HOSPITAL — financial and operating metrics

CCN 240047, DULUTH, MN · Medicare cost reports, FY2020–FY2025

Short reporting period. FY2024 (181 days) covers less than a full year, usually because the hospital changed its fiscal year end, opened, closed or changed hands. Its totals are not comparable with the full years beside them, and no figure here has been scaled up to disguise that.

Unverified figures. Metrics marked unverified are derived from cost-report coordinates that have not yet been reconciled against audited financial statements. We show you which, rather than hiding it.
