Overview
Mission
To provide free, personalized, virtual clinical care, education, and support to adults 18+ living with type 1 diabetes.
What it reported doing in 2024
Bch clinical is the clinical entity through which the supported organization provides health care and related clinical and support services to adults living with type 1 diabetes. Bch clinical was funded into existence by the leona m. And harry b. Helmsley charitable trust. The organizations partner with clinicians to learn, demonstrate, and share scalable models that close care gaps, proving that more equitable, effective t1d care is possible nationwide. Designed based on need rather than traditional reimbursement rules, bch clinical's whole-person model can include endocrinology care, diabetes education, insurance navigation, peer support, diabetes supportive counseling, and referrals to community resources that can help with access to housing, employment, food, and assistance paying for t1d medication and supplies. The program, which typically lasts 6 months, is available in 20 states plus Washington, d.c. To adults aged 18+ who speak english or spanish.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Affiliate-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
- 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
