Overview

Mission

The vision of JKPPA is for every patient to be an active partner in their own health care. The mission of JKPPA is to provide patient advocacy services and assistance to Individuals in navigating the health care and related systems. Our goals are to facilitate patient centered care, achieve better communications between individuals and their health care providers, improve health care experiences, identify common patient concerns and increase chances of positive health outcomes.

JKPPA acts as a resource to clients and their loved ones who need assistance navigating the health care system, including referral to other networks and organizations who may better assist them; JKPPA guides volunteers who are already providing assistance to their loved one or friend; JKPPA brings professional and consumer volunteers together with clients to assist them on a specific issue or problem and to help them to help themselves to improve their health care experience and outcomes; JKPPA establishes an allied health, legal and other professional panel of advisors, active and/or retired, to support our volunteers and clients by providing remote and/or telephone guidance, as needed; JKPPA positively and efficiently communicates and connects with health care providers to reduce the burden upon already overstressed health care providers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
