Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide high quality and equitable reproductive and sexual health services, abortion, and education to all people, regardless of any barriers to healthcare that they may face.

What it reported doing in 2024

The reproductive health and sexual health program offers comprehensive reproductive and sexual health care services and community education within this specialized scope of expertise. Services are available at our boulder, co clinic. Bvhc assures that all patients can receive the health care they need regardless of income or insurance coverage. Thus, for those who are uninsured and low-income, most clinical services in this program are provided on a sliding fee scale that slides to $0 for the lowest-income patients. All of our medical providers deliver annual wellness care and prescribe, dispense, or insert birth control methods that best meet the needs and desires of the patient, including long- acting reversible methods of contraception (larc). In august 2024, bvhc also incorporated the prescription of prep as part of its comprehensive sexual health program. In 2024, we also upgraded to languageline solutions' real-time audio and video translation platform, enhancing communication for non-english-speaking patients in over 300 languages. We translate patient education materials, consent forms, and outreach materials into multiple languages, with emphasis on spanish. Bvhc also provides alternative access points to care by providing telehealth to reduce patient time in clinic and remove transportation barriers. Bvhc provided healthcare services in the reproductive health program to 4,366 patients in 2024, and provided reproductive health education to 2,133 students in boulder and weld counties.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
