Overview

Mission

To provide quality healthcare to citizens that are uninsured or underinsured.

What it reported doing in 2024

Treatment of free or reduced health care for uninsured or underinsured individuals within the community at community health care centers, including free medication and out of area transportation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 87% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
