STEWARDSHIP: The good use of organizational resources, human and material. Values DIGNITY: Every person is respected regardless of race, creed or religious affiliation and economic status.
What it reported doing in 2024
During the year ended september 30, 2025, we provided symptom management and life-planning services to a limited number of patients in broward and miami-dade counties in Florida. We also provided staff educational in-service sessions to several patient care facilities and community organizations in our service area to raise awareness of the benefits of palliative care services.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
