Overview

Mission

To be the region's premier medical home dedicated to providing access to compassionate, quality care for all.

What it reported doing in 2024

First care pharmacy is a one-stop shop for all family's medication needs. Our pharmacists work closely with our providers, offering the convenience of getting prescriptions filled at the same time during the patients' medical, express care, dental, and/or behavioral health appointment. Through the 340b pricing program, first care pharmacy provides exceptional care for underserved patients who otherwise would not have access to pharmaceutical care. The 340b program enables covered entities like us to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more comprehensive services. The community benefits when medicine is filled at first care pharmacy. We use these funds to: - continue our services for underserved populations - support patient programs - hire providers with expertise to meet the needs of our community - maintain and grow our facilities to better serve patients

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 80% 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.
  • 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
