Overview

Mission

Our Mission & Values

What it reported doing in 2024

Expenses incurred in providing emergency and medically necessary services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin or ability to pay. Please refer to schedule o for the organization's community benefit statement (statement of program services) which includes detailed information regarding the various services provided by this organization.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% 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

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
