After reading chapter 3 on Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth and watching the video on Balance Sheet Basics  and Chapter 4: Revenue (Inflow) complete the following below. 

The minimum word count for all four initial post questions (total)to the discussion board question(s) should be 400 words or more(excluding reinstatement of the discussion board questions and references). 

For this discussion you can do a google search or search some of the major articles/ balance sheets. Do not use Wikipedia.

1) Locate a health care-related balance sheet.

- The source of the balance sheet can be internal (within a health care facility, heath care organization, health care institution of some type) or external health care related  article that includes a balance sheet (from a published article or from a health care company’s annual report, for example). The balance sheet of choice can also be on a quarterly basis and or annual basis.

-Your experiences may be very helpful and interesting to all of us. However, be sure that you also back up your posts with factual information from the text (when it applies to the initial discussion board question (s) and responses to peers) or other creditable sources. A minimum of one reference is required to support your response to the discussion question and reply to a classmate.
