What it reported doing in 2024
Faith hope & love christian ministries inc operates a health and wellness center in lakeland, ga. We provide affordable quality primary healthcare for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the people in lanier county, Georgia and surrounding areas. The u.s. Department of health and human services health resources and service administration (hrsa) declare lanier county a medically underserved area/population. This is an area or population designated by hrsa as having too few primary care providers. The medically underserved are people with life circumstances that make them susceptible to falling through the cracks in our health care system. Many do not have health insurance or cannot afford it; those who do have insurance sometimes face insufficient coverage. Fhl accepts insurance and offers sliding scale for uninsured patients.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
