Mission

Provide access to affordable high quality integrated care for all. Our organization offers a wide range of services, which includes comprehensive behavioral health care, dental health care, and primary health care. Hopewell Health Centers has 22 locations covering southeastern Ohio.

What it reported doing in 2024

WIC - Women, Infants and Children provides education and nutritional food supplements for at risk children from birth through five years of age, and pregnant, postpartum, and breast feeding women. Serving Athens and Perry counties.

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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
