What it reported doing in 2024

Our integrated care model includes medical, dental, behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, and pharmaceutical support.

Cvch remains committed to addressing social determinants of health through partnerships with local organizations, housing providers, and food security programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 85% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and expenses are high relative to revenue.
