Not in the ranking because the filing reports zero on line 7a while reporting other community benefit, which usually means charity care was booked on another line; the filing is being read by hand; and no charity care figure is present. The figures below are shown as filed.

Most of the reported compensation ($2,074,968 of $2,529,529) came from a related organization (Part VII column E) and was reported on this filing.
