Petaluma Health Center

Overview

Mission

Petaluma Health Center’s mission is to ensure access to high-quality health care for the communities we serve. Our commitment to our mission, and each other, means we are rarely satisfied with the status quo. We ask hard questions. We think differently. We are driven to be the best in all we do, even the things our patients can’t see, to provide the best care possible. Because they deserve it. Collaboration We do not do this work in a vacuum. The voices of patients, community partners, employees, and funders inspire our actions and inform our approach to care. Together with their input and our expertise, we create game-changing improvements for our patients and our community.

Operating model

Revenue model

Other-operating. 84% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. 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.
