Overview

Mission

To provide comprehensive, accessible, and high-quality healthcare services to all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay, with a focus on underserved communities in New York City.

What it reported doing in 2024

To operate a network of diagnostic and treatment centers to provide or arrange for the provision of primary and preventive quality health care including related ancillary and enabling services for all residents of the organization's service area within the state of New York.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
