Overview

Mission

Here whenever you need us. Find a clinic Virtual urgent care Virtual urgent care is a supplement for in-person care and provides an appointment via video chat from 6 a.m. to midnight with board-certified providers. Virginia Mason Francsican Health virtual urgent care provides consultation, diagnosis and treatment, including prescriptions, as appropriate, all from the comfort of home - or on the go. In many cases, virtual urgent care can be there when the flu strikes late, a nasty cough develops during an important meeting, or a camping trip is interrupted by a spider bite.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
