Overview

Mission

West central mental health center, inc., d/b/a solvista health, delivers comprehensive mental health and substance use treatment services to thousands of individuals in need in our rural and frontier region. An important accomplishment in the period included construction and launch of new high acuity services and bed-based care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 75% 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 few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
