Overview
Mission
CentroMed provides comprehensive, community-based primary health care services to the San Antonio area, serving as a patient-centered medical home for families and individuals.
What it reported doing in 2025
Delivery and administration of medical, dental, behavioral, nutritional and social services to the Texas Bexar and Comal county communities including the homeless, elderly and HIV/AIDS patients. The agency served 110,790 unduplicated patients through 377,652 visits in calendar year 2025.
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 92% 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. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
