Geisinger Medical Center: $1.9B Revenue, $1.6B Expenses

The efficiency rubric puts Geisinger Medical Center at a B grade: a composite of 79/100 that lands above the national midpoint. The grade reflects solid financial reserves alongside reasonable officer compensation and steady revenue.

On revenue, Geisinger Medical Center is among the largest U.S. nonprofits: $1.9B in 2023 reported revenue. Organizations at this scale typically operate hospitals, university systems, or national federations — the financial pattern looks more like a corporation than the small-charity stereotype. Financial health is a strength: Geisinger Medical Center carries a healthy operating-reserve cushion against $1.6B in annual expenses, the kind of balance-sheet stability that helps an organization weather funding gaps without cutting programs.

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. Geisinger Medical Center reported $1.9B in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Geisinger Medical Center reports $1.4M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $1.9B in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. Geisinger Medical Center is categorized under Health — the largest segment of U.S. nonprofit revenue, dominated by hospitals, hospital systems, and health-research organizations. The financial profile in this category is capital-intensive, with large balance sheets and program service revenue that often dwarfs donations.
