Overview
Mission
The mission of san ysidro health is to improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve with access for all.
What it reported doing in 2024
The mission of san ysidro health is to improve the health and well being of our community's traditionally under served and culturally diverse people. San ysidro health and its program sites are designed under the concept of the patient centered medical home (pcmh) model of care, where the patient, not the support staff or provider, is the focus of all care and services. Patients have access to comprehensive medical, dental and behavioral health services as well as support services and programs that help with other needs like food, housing and health education. During the fiscal year, the health center saw 134,645 patients who generated 714,887 medical and dental visits in the current period.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 92% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
