Overview

Mission

Operation of a neonatal and pediatric transport program and provision of emergency and non-emergency transportation of sick, diseased, injured, and crippled children and others in support of ssm cardinal glennon children's hospital and ssm health care st. Louis.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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 most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
