Overview

Mission

The mission of South Bay Family Health Care (SBFHC) is to provide access to quality healthcare for individuals and families, regardless of ability to pay. SBFHC is one of Los Angeles County's leading community clinic systems and largest safety net providers, offering high-quality low- and no-cost health care to under-served populations in the South Bay and South Los Angeles County. Since its founding in 1969, SBFHC has grown from a single-site family planning clinic in the beach cities to a multi-site primary care system with medical facilities in Inglewood, Gardena and Redondo Beach, a school-based wellness clinic at Carson High School.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
