Mission

EXCELA HEALTH, AN AFFILIATE OF INDEPENDENCE HEALTH SYSTEM, EXISTS TO PROVIDE A TRUSTED DELIVERY OF CARE WHICH MAKES A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL WE TOUCH.

Activities or mission (Part I)

EXCELA HEALTH, AN AFFILIATE OF INDEPENDENCE HEALTH SYSTEM, WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS THE PREMIER PROVIDER OF HIGH QUALITY, VALUE-DRIVEN AFFORDABLE INTEGRATED CARE IN THE REGION. WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS THROUGH UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION.

  • ABOUT EXCELA HEALTH MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL WE TOUCH.EXCELA HEALTH, THE LEADING HEALTH CARE PROVIDER AND THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN WESTMORELAND COUNTY, BROUGHT TOGETHER THREE HOSPITALS IN 2004 WESTMORELAND HOSPITAL IN GREENSBURG, FRICK HOSPITAL IN MOUNT PLEASANT AND LATROBE HOSPITAL IN LATROBE WITH THE GOAL OF SERVING AS A REGIONAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM THAT EMBODIES HIGH QUALITY, ACCESSIBILITY AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY LOCALLY. MORE TO THE POINT, EXCELA HEALTH SEEKS TO LIVE ITS MISSION OF "IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF EVERY LIFE WE TOUCH" COUCHED IN VALUES KNOWN AS THE EXCELA WAY. EVIDENCE OF THOSE IDEALS CAN BE FOUND IN THE EVENTS OF FISCAL YEAR 2025, WITH THE ADDITION OF NEW CONCEPTS, SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGIES WHILE, AT THE SAME TIME, GARNERING RECOGNITION FOR ITS EFFORTS FROM NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS. IN ALL CASES, THE RESULTING PROGRAMS, SERVICES AND AWARDS BENEFITTED THE AREA'S CITIZENRY AND DEMONSTRATED A FOCUS ON QUALITY MEASURES, FURTHER ENHANCING THE WAY EXCELA HEALTH PROVIDES CARE. PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANT IS THE CONTINUING ADDITION OF HIGHLY TRAINED PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS. TOGETHER, MANAGEMENT, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MEDICAL STAFF COLLABORATE DILIGENTLY, AND THOUGHTFULLY, TO PROVIDE OUTSTANDING CARE TO THIS REGION. AS A PENNSYLVANIA NONPROFIT CORPORATION DESCRIBED UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, EXCELA HEALTH WAS ORIGINALLY INCORPORATED AS SUCH EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 1984, PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS SOUTHWEST HEALTH SYSTEM, THEN WESTMORELAND HEALTH SYSTEM, FOLLOWED BY WESTMORELAND LATROBE HEALTH PARTNERS AND, FINALLY, EXCELA HEALTH. IN ADDITION TO ITS HOSPITALS, EXCELA HEALTH ENCOMPASSES OTHER HEALTH-RELATED SUBSIDIARIES AND CONTINUES TO EXPAND AS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY DEMAND. ON JANUARY 1, 2023, EXCELA HEALTH ENTERED INTO AN AFFILIATION WITH BUTLER HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. (BHS) TO CREATE A NEW PARENT CORPORATION NAMED INDEPENDENCE HEALTH SYSTEM (IHS), WHICH HAS GOVERNANCE AUTHORITY OVER BOTH ORGANIZATIONS.

The first 25 listed. 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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Declared on its 2024 return

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

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

Not present in the most recent drop.

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.
