Overview

Mission

To provide high-quality, comprehensive, and compassionate healthcare to all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay.

What it reported doing in 2024

Prenatal care: prenatal care is an important part of staying healthy during pregnancy for both mother and child. Our care team will monitor your future baby's development and do all recommended testing to help diagnose, treat, and prevent possible problems. Regular checkups allow you to ask any questions about your pregnancy and the birth of your future baby. Our newest clinic, now open in belmont/cragin in northwest chicago, also offers midwifery services. Insurance/financial: we believe that everyone deserves access to high quality health care regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. If you have insurance, we can help you understand it and use it. For patients without insurance, we offer a sliding scale fee based on your income and family size. If you are unsure if you qualify for the sliding fee discount scale, our access and enrollment specialists can help. We can also answer your questions about medicare and medicaid. Medication assisted treatment: if you are struggling with at-risk substance use, we provide support for substance use disorders (sud) and medication-assisted treatment (mat) through individual treatment and recovery based services. Reaching out for help is the first step in recovery and getting back on a healthy path. At our west town and belmont cragin sites, specialized treatment for opioid use disorder is offered through suboxone and naltrexone/vivitrol. Patients participate in their recovery through group and individual therapy as well as ongoing primary care visits to obtain their medication. Individualized case management and recovery planning is provided.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 79% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - 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.
