Overview

Mission

Pacific health ministry ("phm") is a nonprofit organization, exempt under irc 501(c)(3), established in 1986 for the purpose of developing hospital ministry and clinical pastoral education programs in Hawaii. The mission of phm is to provide the highest quality inter-faith spiritual care to the people of Hawaii, pastoral training to students from around the world, and education to the community. Phm currently provides services to Hawaii's major medical centers and assisted living facilities.

What it reported doing in 2024

The clinical pastoral education ("cpe") program at phm gives strong emphasis to direct clinical practice to enhance spiritual care skills and provide opportunities to experience people from many backgrounds. Learning happens in a small group seminar setting that includes review of pastoral practice, group dynamics, didactic presentations and experiential events with Hawaii institutions and community organizations. The supervisors put strong emphasis on developing individualized learning programs to fit specific needs. The goal is to craft a training program that will prepare students for ministry service following their cpe experience.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
