Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This return does not answer enough of the governance questions to score.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $4.4 million spent. ADVOCATED ON BEHALF OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS AND CLINICS TO PASS FOUR SIGNIFICANT PIECES OF LEGISLATION TO HELP SUPPORT THE CLINIC WORKFORCE AND FUTURE GROWTH. AB 2860 AND AB 2864 FOCUSED ON EXPANDING THE MEXICAN PHYSICIAN PROGRAM TO ALLOW MORE PHYSICIANS TRAINED IN MEXICO TO COME WORK AT OUR CHCS AND PROVIDE CARE TO PATIENTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONALLY, AB 2703 RESOLVED A LONGSTANDING ISSUE RELATING TO CHCS BEING REQUIRED TO SEEK A SCOPE OF SERVICE CHANGE WHEN BRINGING ON A LMFTS; THE BILL NOW ALLOWS A CHC TO HAVE THE OPTION OF PURSUING A CHANGE IN SCOPE. FINALLY, SB 1382 WILL GIVE CHCS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS ANOTHER LONGSTANDING ISSUE RELATING TO BUILDING STANDARDS IN HOPES OF REMOVING BARRIERS FOR FUTURE GROWTH AND TO PROVIDE MORE ACCESS TO CARE.
- CPCA ADVOCATES WAS ABLE TO SAVE APPROXIMATELY $309M IN CUTS IN THE CALIFORNIA STATE BUDGET WITH ITS ADVOCACY. THE STATE WAS FACED WITH A SEVERE BUDGET DEFICIT AND WAS LOOKING AT MAKING DRASTIC CUTS IMPACTING CHCS. OUR ADVOCACY PREVENTED MANY HARMFUL CUTS AND PRESERVED FUNDING FOR CHCS, PARTICULARLY THE FUNDING TO SUPPORT OUR 340B SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT POOL.
- CPCA ADVOCATES LAUNCHED A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN, "CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS AND CLINICS, CARING FOR EVERY PATIENT, STRENGTHENING EVERY COMMUNITY," THAT DEVELOPED A 30 SECOND SPOT AND 15 SECOND SPOT THAT RAN ON DIGITAL PLATFORMS, HIGHLIGHTING THE BENEFITS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS.
