The Flint Hills Community Health Center experienced an $81,822.47 net loss for the month of August; however, that amount is below the expected loss for the month, board members learned during the monthly board of directors meeting on Wednesday.
The net loss is $32,333.12 below the budgeted loss of the month of $114,155.59. Year-to-date net income is above the budgeted amount by $228,559.81. Year to date operations have yielded income of $50,839.24. A portion of the year to date income of $174,141.77 is attributed to funds the health center has received from the Jones Trust for the dental clinic expansion.
