The Not-For-Profit Hospital Corporation agency will be abolished in FY 2026. As such, the agency's funding, functions, and responsibilities will cease at the end of FY 2025.
Note: Prior year actuals are not reported for the Not-For-Profit Hospital Corporation because the agency does not use the District's financial system for its actual transactions.
