Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Total quality comprehensive healthcare. Caring and compassionate health services for patients, residents, families and healthcare workers. Medical care for all life stages delivered by a professional and expert healthcare team. Commitment to our communities to maintain and ensure the ongoing provision of quality health services. The vision of Towner County Medical Center is to be the healthcare resource of choice for those who seek comprehensive quality health services.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To acquire, maintain and further develop hospital, clinical, long term care, and other services in Cando and the surrounding area.

  • I. IntroductionTowner County Medical Center was acquired from the Sisters of St. Francis, a Catholic religious order, in 1992. The community of Cando wanted to ensure itself that there would continue to be health care services available to not only the residents of Cando, but to the areas surrounding the community as well.Service to the community and the surrounding area is a hallmark of how we are here. The Medical Center provides diagnostic and therapeutic treatment to all, regardless of race, sex, religion, financial ability to pay, or any other area that could be deemed to be discriminatory. In addition to the core medical services, we are continually reaching out to surrounding communities assisting them in promoting a healthier community as well.The Medical Center provides preventative services to all patients and promotes awareness of these throughout the year. During breast cancer awareness month they have drawings for gift baskets throughout the month. During the month of November they provide lung cancer screening to patients at no charge. This past year these preventive promotions totaled $24,500 in expense for the facility. II. Uncompensated CareTowner County Medical Center provides uncompensated care to those in need of services, who either have limited resources or who may have fallen on hard times and are in need of relief in order to get back on their feet. The amount of traditional uncompensated care for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $377,000 which includes charity care and implicit price concessions. In many cases, we believe that the bad debt is in fact charity care, but individuals are too proud to come in and request charity. New policies and procedures have been developed in an effort to allow us to better identify these individuals, and to be able to classify them as they should be. In addition to uncompensated care, Towner County Medical Center also provides discounts to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. For the year ended June 30, 2025 those discounts totaled $2,498,000.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
