The Escambia County Health Care Authority (ECHCA) was established in 1949 and reincorporated in 1983. Comprehensive year-by-year financial records since 1949 are not publicly available in digital primary sources, as historical audits pre-dating recent years are not hosted online by the Alabama Department of Examiners of Public Accounts or other state repositories. The only readily accessible primary audit report is for FY2023 (ended September 30, 2023), which shows an operating loss of ( $15,935,587 )and a total decrease in net position of $11,504,331 for that year.bac723 The report does not include a historical summary of cumulative losses or comparative data beyond FY2023 and limited FY2022 figures (e.g., beginning net position for FY2023 was $33,599,453, implying a prior-year adjustment or other changes from FY2022).65b3c5

The ending net position as of September 30, 2023, was $22,095,122, which represents the cumulative effect of all net income, losses, contributions, and adjustments since inception (assuming no detailed initial capitalization records).4102c9 This positive net position indicates that the authority has not experienced net cumulative losses overall; instead, historical profits have exceeded losses by approximately that amount. ------No primary sources provide a breakdown of annual losses across the full period to calculate a total "lost" figure (e.g., sum of negative net changes only).

For two hospitals that are currently making negative $15 million dollars a year. Meaning the hospital system has lost $200 plus million dollars since the year 2000. Is it finically responsible for taxpayers to keep funding an upside down medical system?

More recent audits for the authority (e.g., FY 2023 and 2024) have been submitted to the Alabama state archives, but detailed financial statements are not readily available online in text form for extraction. If you need specifics like executive compensation (e.g., CFO pay), it's not publicly disclosed in standard reports since this is a governmental entity—estimates for similar roles in small rural hospitals range from $200,000–$400,000 annually based on industry data, but actual figures would require a public records request to the authority. The hospital scores a "D" on pay equity metrics, indicating a relatively high ratio of executive pay to entry-level wages.25faa5
For price transparency and billing info, the hospital provides a machine-readable file of standard charges on its website, and financial counselors are available for assistance with payments or insurance questions. If this isn't the info you meant or you have a specific aspect (e.g., a particular year or metric), clarify and I can search further.
