Overview

Mission

The mission of the Hope Clinic is to provide the very highest quality of medical care to those with limited or no access to healthcare, and to treat each patient with the utmost respect and kindness without regard to language, national origin, religion or ability to pay.

What it reported doing in 2024

Hope Clinic is a Christian, primary care/ internal medicine practice that provides quality care to uninsured, underinsured and uninsurable adults in Gwinnett County, Georgia and surrounding counties. Hope Clinic expects and encourages patients to participate in their own healthcare, and all patients are welcome at the Hope Clinic regardless of race, ethnicity, or their ability to pay. Hope Clinic provides our patients with a sliding scale fee structure based on their household income levels, in which patients are given either a 30%, 40% or 50% discount on available health services.

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 - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
