What it reported doing in 2024

Pharmacy assistance program: can community health participates in the federal 340b drug discount program, allowing us to procure medications at discounted rates for our eligible patients. This program, designed to stretch scarce federal resources, enables us to provide more comprehensive services and support a variety of client/patient assistance programs. The savings generated help us break barriers to care, broaden healthcare-related services, and improve patient outcomes. Our 340b pharmacy program continues to grow, with patients participating throughout our statewide network of clinics, providers, and pharmacies.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% 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

STRONG - 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.
