Overview
Mission
Peninsula healthcare connection (phc), a palo alto based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded in 2005 as a collaborative venture between the community working group, palo alto medical foundation, and stanford university school of medicine. Formerly known as opportunity health partners, phc opened its medical clinic in 2006 at the opportunity center in palo alto to provide affordable healthcare to underserved and at-risk men and women, particularly individuals experiencing homelessness. In 2011, phc became a California state licensed clinic, and in 2019 was officially designated as a federally qualified health center lookalike (fqhc-lal). In 2013, phc partnered with new directions, an intensive case management program previously operated under the hospital council of northern and central California, to provide community-based, wraparound services to individuals with complex medical and psychosocial needs.

- 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
SUPPORTED - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
