Overview

Mission

Minnesota Community Care is the leader in delivering affordable health care by being the provider of choice, driven by compassion and respect for all.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization provides comprehensive health care and social services with bilingual/bicultural staff on a sliding fee scale. Services include primary, specialty, preventive, acute care, pharmacy, dental, midwifery, mental and behavioral health, social and wrap-around services such as transportation and assistance with health plan enrollment. We are proud to serve over 29,000 patients each year. We serve the diverse st. Paul metro area community - particularly the latino and hmong populations, st. Paul public housing residents, the unsheltered, and adolescents - in a service area that includes a significant portion of the city of st. Paul and ramsey county.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
