Although trending in the right direction, the fact is without Iowa Medicaid Directed Payment Program (DPP) funds, we would be operating at a negative margin. Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the hospital started receiving DPP funds. This has made a significant positive impact; however, this is not guaranteed funding. The hospital tax levy is critical to stabilizing volatility as we prepare for funding reductions.

Andi’s nomination read:

Andi is awesome at helping all her patients, but on this day she sat down with a difficult patient and talked with them softly and kindly. The patient had a history of mental health issues which made it difficult for them to express themselves. Andi helped them open up by taking the extra time and giving them extra attention and care. She does this with most of our patients and VDMC is lucky to have such an angel on the team.

Andi, we appreciate your dedication to a great patient experience, compassion and customer service. We are so proud of you and you are very deserving of this award!

At first glance, the hospital’s cash position may appear strong; however, a significant portion of the funds are restricted for required capital reinvestment. The financials outline the true availability of funds and the long-term financial demands that justify the need for a tax levy.
