Overview

Mission

Sharing the love of Jesus through excellent, enhanced primary care for the entire community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community Health: Our Community Health Worker provided support to our patients in navigating specialist appointments and other basic needs. Our work with the Vietnamese community continues through our sponsorship of the Vietnamese Family Autism Advisory Board (VFAAB) whose work is to help families navigate the health system, provide peer support, and educate the community about autism.

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 available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
