Overview
Mission
We are physician innovators working together to improve access to high quality pediatric care for families and to create opportunities for physicians across Montana to collaborate. We believe that teamwork and clinical care can transcend our vast geography. We are unified by the shared goal to make the world better for everyone who cares for Montana's children.
What it reported doing in 2024
We develop quality, accessible, culturally informed, and tribally-led systems for pediatric healthcare delivery on the fort peck reservation by offering telehealth in partnership with local nurses and clinicians in six school-based health centers. This service line has been fortunate to receive funding from multiple private foundations to support and expand work with native american populations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 76% for direct work, and 24% for grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
