Overview

Mission

To improve the quality of life in southern Trinity and southeastern Humboldt Counties by providing access to quality, comprehensive, innovative, and integrated primary health care and emergency medical services regardless of ability to pay.

What it reported doing in 2024

The WeCare Group is a non-profit organization, incorporated in 1977 to provide health care services to socially and economically depressed sectors of southern Trinity and southeastern Humboldt Counties in California. This year, the health center provided care to over 6,400 patients and had over 29,000 visits and provided access to health care to each regardless of ability to pay.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 79% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
