Overview

Mission

Your best pathway to health is a non-profit organization that exists to serve the physical needs of the under-served by providing entirely free mobile multi-specialty clinics that offer medical surgical dental eye care and other critical services. As seventh-day adventists we believe in a triad of health including physical mental and spiritual health and that if one is missing the individuals entire health is affected. As such through a collaborative effort with many entities pathway to health deliberately seeks to serve as an effective path to lead patients to physical and mental healing and to improved spiritual health.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide a portable hospital to address the health needs of the uninsured and underinsured. Free hospital services are provided to anyone who presents themselves. These services include health screening physical and occupational therapy dental eye care including glasses and surgery.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
