Soundview Health Care Network Did Not Meet Select Financial Performance Measures and Claimed Unallowable Federal Grant Expenditures.

摘要

Soundview Health Care Network (Soundview) is a nonprofit organization that operates a network of five health centers throughout The Bronx, New York. Soundview provides medical, dental, and mental health services and is funded primarily by patient service revenues and Federal grants. During calendar years (CY) 2008 through 2010, HRSA awarded Soundview grant funding totaling approximately $6.5 million. Of this amount, approximately $5.2 million in section 330 grant funding was awarded to supplement Soundviews health center operations. The remaining $1.3 million was awarded in CY 2009 under the Recovery Act and included approximately $1 million under a CIP grant to construct a new building and approximately $300,000 under an IDS grant to increase access and reduce barriers to health care within Soundviews service area. Our objectives were to determine (1) whether Soundview met select HRSA financial performance measures and (2) whether Soundviews grant expenditures were allowable.
