Overview
Mission
To provide accessible, high-quality, integrated health care to all, regardless of ability to pay.
What it reported doing in 2024
Psychiatry and behavioral health: heartland employs a mental health team that includes a psychiatrist, and behavioral health consultants. We practice an integrated health care model. This means mental health professionals and providers work alongside one another to provide mental and behavioral health screenings, therapy, and associated medications to patients. Often, a behavioral health consultant can visit the patient right in the exam room during their medical visit. In fy2024 we began autism testing by a licensed clinical psychologist. In fye 2025, the clinic provided mental health care to approximately 13,644 patient visits.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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
SUPPORTED - 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.
