Brooks-TLC Hospital System Inc. in 2019 reported revenues of $62,474,978. While nearly three-quarters of that income — almost $48 million — came from patient services between the two facilities in Dunkirk and Irving, another quarter came from an entity that never needed to be treated or was a customer: the New York state Health Department.
Despite $15,011,088 in aid from Albany to help with payroll and other expenses, the Brooks-TLC System noted losses topping $12.5 million for the fiscal year as reported to the Internal Revenue Service in the health-care facility’s Internal Revenue Service 990 filings.
