Results of Limited Scope Review at Finger Lakes Community and Migrant Health

摘要

Finger Lakes Community & Migrant Health (Finger Lakes) is a nonprofit health care agency that provides medical and dental services to residents and migrant agricultural workers throughout western New York State. Finger Lakes is funded primarily by patient service revenues and Federal and State grants. During calendar year 2009, HRSA awarded Recovery Act funds to Finger Lakes totaling 1,919,091. Of that amount, 485,690 was allocated for the purchase of an electronic medical records system, related medical and dental equipment, and a video conferencing system. The remaining 1,433,401 was allocated for increasing the number of patients served by opening a new health center location and employing additional health care professionals. Our objective was to assess Finger Lakes financial viability, capacity to manage and account for Federal funds, and capability to operate a health center in accordance with Federal regulations.
