Overview

Mission

Alivio medical center is committed to providing access to quality, cost effective health care to the hispanic community, the uninsured, and the underinsured, not to the exclusion of other cultures and races.

What it reported doing in 2024

The community health center was established to provide quality, affordable health care to the local community. The comprehensive services include primary outpatient medical care, obstetrics, gynecology, diagnostic services, nutrition services, behavior health services, education and prevention programs as well as other supporting services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
