What it reported doing in 2024

Palms medical group is a not-for-profit healthcare provider committed to bring quality, affordable primary care and preventive services to the communities we serve. In addition to primary care, palms offers pediatric care, mental health, and dental services, as well as complementary alternative medicine such as chiropractic care. Many of our locations have labs, x-ray equipment and a pharmacy under one roof, saving patients time and money. As a federally qualified community health center, palms accepts most public and private insurance including medicare and medicaid patients. Palms offers a sliding fee scale based on income. No one is denied medical care because of lack of insurance or income.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
