Overview

Mission

We build our communities' health care capacity

What it reported doing in 2017

Core programs and health career programs - the organization encourages students to pursue rural health care careers through various career exploration programs including shadow days, statewide conferences, presentations and after-school activities and clubs for high school and middle school students. Additional core activities include broad community outreach regarding all our programs through web, social media and direct contact. These marketing activities create partner- ships and community coalitions that increase engagement with our various programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 72% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
