Overview
Mission
To provide compassionate hospice care that enhances the quality of life for patients and their loved ones through physical, emotional, and spiritual support.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provision of hospice services throughout the Western Michigan community to more than 2,000 patients, most of whom were Medicare or Medicaid recipients. The organization provides benevolence where needed, for patients who do not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid and cannot afford the full cost of the services provided.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 94% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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
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.
