Overview

Mission

To provide quality health care to everyone in our communities, regardless of their ability to pay.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Organization operates clinic in twelve locations serving Houghton, Iron, Marquette, Menominee, and Ontonagon counties. Services (onsite and through referral) include primary care, oral health care and behavorial health services, substance abuse counseling, enabling services, specialty care/services, education and comprehensive outreach. During the tax year, the Organization had 91,727 patient visits.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 78% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
