Overview
Mission
The mission of the columbia county community healthcare consortium, inc. Is improving access to healthcare and supporting the health and well-being of people in our rural community.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 1999 the healthcare consortium formed a program called the children and adults rural transportation service, or carts, to respond to the need of many columbia county residents for transportation to and from medical appointments. This need is particularly acute in the more rural areas of the county but could nevertheless be found in all parts of it, for any number of reasons. Sometimes, individuals lack a vehicle. Other times, they lack the financial resources to maintain it, fill its tank, or pay its tolls. And in still other instances, even those with a vehicle in good working order and the resources to operate it no longer feel comfortable driving due to their age, an illness, or injury. In all of these cases, carts has been there to help. Since the program's inception, it has served thousands of columbia county residents, provided over 277,000 trips to medical appointments, and covered more than 4.3 million miles. In 2025 alone, we served 596 unique clients, provided 13,085 trips, and covered 252,094 miles.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
