Overview

Mission

The Mission of Miriam Clinics, Inc (MMC) is to provide multi-disciplinary competent, compassionate and accessible health care regardless of ability to pay. MMC recognizes that there is a need for healthcare access to be provided to underserved citizens, who for any number of reasons, cannot obtain affordable care. In this awareness, there is also the appreciation that healthcare must be provided with a complete acknowledgment of the dignity, respect, and integrity desired by each patient. Addressing these needs fosters full participation of the patient in his/her care

What it reported doing in 2023

MZT program takes medical care out of the clinic and into the communities. The project originated to get COVID vaccines into the Black and Brown communities. We have continued that and added flu vaccines and general health screenings in various locations around the city. We provide services in churches, parks, schools, community centers, and into homes of the disabled and elderly. During 2023 there were 265 COVID and 285 flu vaccines administered, 1213 patient encounters, and 118 patients attended educational presentations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Contribution and grant supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and grants. The filing reports them as one total, so it does not say how much was granted.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
