What it reported doing in 2024

Sutter Community Health (SUCH), formerly known as East Bay Perinatal Center (EBPC), dba Alta Bates Summit Perinatal Center (ABSPC), provides prenatal and immediate post-partum care to high-risk, low-income, underserved women in the San Francisco/Oakland and East Bay Area. Services include medical evaluation and a needs assessment to develop an individualized plan of care appropriate for the maternal condition or diagnosis. A plan is developed according to Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP) in consultation with providers - including perinatologists, obstetricians, nurse practitioners and nurse midwives, perinatal health educators, social workers, and registered dieticians holding a certified diabetes education certificate (CDE). The perinatal center also adheres to California Diabetes and Pregnancy Program (CDAPP) Sweet Success guidelines. SUCH specializes in caring for women with high-risk pregnancies with complications such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and sickle cell disease. Perinatologists also provide care to the perinatal population that suffers from obstetrical problems such as recurrent pregnancy loss, preterm labor, and fetal abnormalities. EBPC provides referrals, counseling, and support for patients dealing with psychosocial ailments, substance abuse issues, psychiatric diagnoses, domestic violence issues, teen pregnancy, and homelessness. During 2024, the Center served a total of 4,526 patients for an estimated total of 6,479 visits.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and expenses are high relative to revenue.
