Overview

Mission

Providing healthcare services for the low-income residents of Santa Ana, California and the surrounding areas in Orange County California is Access Community Health Center's first priority. Services will be provided for all patients regardless of ability to pay, race, nationality, creed, sex, or age. Our services will consist of a range of primary care services across the lifecycle such as screenings, treatments, immunizations, physicals, chronic disease management, and other health issues that can be addressed in an outpatient setting.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
