What it reported doing in 2024

Native health's medical department expanded clinical services in partnership with the pascua yaqui tribe, opening native health @ walupe, in guadalupe, Arizona. In addition, we completed renovations and opened a new site, nhw community health center. Pharmacy was a welcome addition inside the clinic, with many patients and community members remarking how convenient it is that we are a one stop shop. Chiropractic services rolled out at multiple clinics. We held multiple drive thru flu shot clinics, complete with blue corn mush and navajo hopi tea. Native health's mobile medical unit continued to provide medical and vaccine services to students at area schools. Native health's community health and wellness department provided many services and programs through our indigenous wellness program including walk in your mocs, cooking classes, traditional garden, indigenous book clubs for youth and adults, as well as traditional american indian/Alaska native games and our ever popular, indigenous wellness camp to northern Arizona. This year we also rolled out mental health first aid services, with classes filling up within hours. We continue to offer our annual bike rodeo, cookies and cocoa with santa, and our positive indian parenting and motherhood is sacred/fatherhood is sacred programs for families. The wic program continues to grow with three valley locations and a breastfeeding peer counselor. Our home visiting programs continue to be popular with many children graduating from these programs ready to enter school successfully native health's behavioral health department continued to grow during this period. Psychiatric services were expanded at native health central, native health mesa, and nhw community health center. Weekly groups continue to grow and include intensive outpatient program, standing outpatient program, dui assessment and services, and our men's domestic violence group. New traditional services were added which includes many different talking circles as well as blessings and smudging.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
