Overview

Mission

Partners for a Lifetime of Health

What it reported doing in 2024

Offering significantly discounted services to those who qualify based on income, nmhc provides preventive, functional, restorative, and emergency dental care to all ages regardless of the patient's ability to pay. Our services include: general dentistry; dentures; restorative work such as crowns, bridges, partials; periodontal services (gum treatment); hygiene and tissue management; and sealants. In addition to having three dental clinics, the health center also offers dental services through its mobile dental unit. The mobile dental unit travels to area schools and provides dental preventative care and treatment plans to children on-site, further reducing barriers to quality dental care throughout the service area.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 82% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
