Overview

Mission

To provide comprehensive, integrated, affordable, and high-quality health care services to all, regardless of insurance status.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Organization provided comprehensive mental health and substance use counseling services in a fully integrated manner on-site at its Portland and South Portland, Maine locations. The organization has a psychiatric nurse practitioner team to support patient's mental health. The organization also has Licensed clinical social workers and Licensed clinical professional counselors on each health care team help patients make needed changes through health coaching and providing behavioral strategies that improve health and reduce harm. Some of these include stress management techniques, smoking cessation and motivational interviewing. Support groups and educational sessions are offered as needed. We also have a mobile medical clinic that travels to locations where patients can more easily access care in the Portland area.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 68% 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.
