Overview
Mission
Our vision is to be a constantly growing, financially sound community health center.
What it reported doing in 2024
Behavioral health - services provided for adults, adolescents, and children include: outpatient counseling for individuals, couples, and families; psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management; and culturally competent behavioral health treatment for non-english speaking patients, including refugees and immigrants. Social services - services for patients include psycho-social assessment, crisis intervention, domestic violence screening and intervention, advocacy, and transportation. Caseworkers connect patients to appropriate community resources and assist patients in navigating the health care and insurance systems.
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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
