Overview

Mission

Good Medicine Collective is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to reimagine and reclaim whole health for our community. We aim to make holistic experiences inviting and affordable to everybody. We are more than a space, but a movement, co-evolving a new paradigm for health that is guided by joy, empowerment and equity.

What it reported doing in 2025

Direct primary care is a movement in medicine that allows direct access to your doctor by cutting out the many middle men and overhead of a large practice. The personal, patient-centered nature of direct primary care is empowering for patients and allows them more agency on their health journey.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
