Overview

Mission

We serve the people who need us most through exceptional, affordable, and compassionate care, inspiring all those we touch to lead full and healthy lives.

What it reported doing in 2024

La clinica provides comprehensive preventive medical and dental care, as well as integrated behavioral health, prenatal care and gynecology, physical therapy, acupuncture, and advanced care in rheumatology and gastroenterology. We engage over 400 employees who provide high quality services at twenty-five service sites, including two sites that house a community pharmacy. The community pharmacies provide direct patient benefit by offering low prescription costs and retail pharmacy access to those we serve and their families. To help our community access care, we accept all insurance types and offer a generous sliding scale for low-income uninsured and underinsured patients. We also utilize the federal 340b drug pricing program to offer deeply discounted medications to our patients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 75% 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

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
