Overview

Mission

To improve the health status of the individuals and the communities we serv by providing access to high quality, respectful and efficient health care services. Advantage health centers will also be a catalyst for access to health care and other resources for those who would otherwise go unserved.

What it reported doing in 2024

This organization provides preventative, primary medical, dental and mental healthcare, and social services to homeless and disadvantaged individuals at various clinic locations in detroit.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
