What it reported doing in 2024

Health and Well Being is at the core of our mission and we provide the tools and encouragement for people of all ages and activity levels to make health and well being a priority. We employ a wide array of programs that include fitness assessments, nutritional counseling, personal training, group exercise, and aquatic programming to give individuals multiple options towards a healthier life style. Additionally, through our Community Integrated Health programs (our community based preventative strategies partnered with traditional healthcare) focuses on chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes and Parkinson's. Through evidence based programming our work has aided in the prevention and control of chronic disease and disability impacting individuals through-out our region. Programs like Rock Steady Boxing, Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Programs, Live Strong and Pedaling for Parkinson's are major components of our Community Integrated Health offerings. So that income isn't a barrier we provided $440,109 in financial assistance to those in need. In 2024 we served 19,622 individuals in our health and wellbeing initiatives.

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 99% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
