Overview
Mission
Lk health provides high-quality and accessible preventative and primary healthcare services (medical, dental, and behavioral health) to children, adolescents, and adults. See schedule o for the full mission.
What it reported doing in 2018
Lk health provides quality and affordable health care to underserved and uninsured latino populations and the general public in los angeles county. Lk health has a state of the art facility with 8 examination rooms, including a minor surgery/procedure room, behavioral health room, 3 dental operatories, large lobby and laboratory. Covered California/medi-cal enrollment, health education, and nutrition services. Annually, the health center provides 12,700 medical visits, serving 4,600 patients visits.
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 the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and the required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete.
