During 2015, the organization began providing primary and preventive health care services and behavioral health services to underserved patients throughout the south los angeles, norwalk, bellflower and long beach communities in its clinic located in compton, California. The organization also began providing dental services during 2016. In 2022, the organization purchased an additional primary care facility in lynwood, California, to expand health services in the surrounding local community. Lastly in 2022, the organization received the behavioral clinic practice from memorial counseling associates medical group ("mca") allowing the organization to expand its behavioral and mental health services. The organization serviced over 108,000 patient visits during 2023. The organization is the first federally qualified health center (fqhc) in south los angeles to provide a full continuum of integrated medical, dental, and behavioral health services to all ages and populations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 91% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
