All three organizations receive money from sources other than direct patient revenue, and are in fact dependent on these alternative sources of revenue for continuing operations. Government payment for services is a major source of revenue for the Northern Illinois Medical Center, and investments make up at least some amount of revenue for all three organizations. The single largest line item of revenue other than direct patient revenue for Saskasegawa Memorial Hospital is the sale of assets, however, and though there are additional assets that the organization can sell this cannot be kept up in perpetuity; either other investments need to be made to increase revenue or operating expenses need to somehow be reduced in order to ensure the long-term viability of this organization.
