Overview

Mission

The mission of lyon-martin community health services is to provide high quality, compassionate and trauma-informed medical, gynecological, and mental health care services to trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex (tgi) communities and cis-gender women with specific sensitivity to lgbqa sexual orientation, disability, size, race, ethnicity, and language regardless of immigration status or ability to pay.

What it reported doing in 2024

We aim to eliminate health inequities for our communities by rooting our clinical practice in core foundational frameworks of intersectionality, anti-racism, reproductive and disability justice, self-determination, and harm reduction. As a community clinic, we believe our communities are best served by us and for us; that's why community engagement and leadership development are central to our mission of community care and mutual aid. Finally, we are committed to increasing access to culturally responsive care for queer, trans, and intersex (qti) people beyond our walls through provider training and education and addressing systemic barriers to equity through policy advocacy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
