Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
Froedtert Thedacare Health, Inc. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin sponsors Community Memorial Hospital Retirement Plan, a defined benefit pension plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 shows 782 participants (286 active) and $117M in net assets.
Net assets came to $149,704 per participant, well above the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 participants and well above the $62,049 median for defined benefit plans in health care and social assistance. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 7 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $211K: $270 per participant, well below the same-size median of $377. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $356K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $101M in 2014 to $117M in 2024 (up 16%), and participants from 1,457 to 782 (down 46%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?

The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $377 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $356,409. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.

Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 3 Oct 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind.
