To promote health and wellness to our patient population, by providing patient centered care that promotes engagement between the patient and the provider, leading to positive health care outcomes.

What it reported doing in 2025

Medical: the hyndman area health center provides complete family practice services at six locations. The doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistant are board certified and provide complete, comprehensive, and compassionate medical care. This includes complete pediatric care, immunizations, gyn care, acute care, treatment of injuries and suturing, and care of chronic illnesses. Many health problems are caused by stress, anxiety, and depression. The health center has a special interest in these problems and tries its best to view the whole person. The health center prides themselves on treating anyone, regardless of ability to pay, and offers a sliding fee for people based on the household income and size.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 74% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
