Overview
Mission
To provide accessible, high-quality primary and preventive healthcare services to individuals and families across western Kentucky.
What it reported doing in 2025
The organization provides health care regardless of the individuals ability to pay. These medical services are provided in areas that have a shortage of health care providers. This is a direct fulfillment of their tax exempt purpose. Over 61,200 visits were provided during the year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 88% 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
SUPPORTED - 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.
