IN 2024 AVERAGE TIME UNTIL A FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT WAS 9 DAYS AND THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF MINUTES PER APPOINTMENT WAS 48 MINUTES -- FAR EXCEEDING NATIONAL STANDARDS IN THE US (17.5 MINUTES AS STATED BY THE JAMA HEALTH FORUM IN 2023). AS AN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO LEARNING, WE HAD A DOCTORAL FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER STUDENT AS A RESIDENT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OR PORTLAND AND THREE VOLUNTEERS FROM THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF NATURAL MEDICINE. WE BEGAN DRAWING LABS MORE FREQUENTLY WITH TWO MEDICAL ASSISTANTS TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY AND EASE OF THIS SERVICE ON SITE AS A CLIA-CERTIFIED LAB.
- ORGANIZATIONAL UPDATES :WE BROUGHT ON CLINICAL DIRECTOR AND CLINICAL OPERATIONS COORDINATOR ROLES. WE ADDED TWO MORE BOARD MEMBERS. THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF STRONGER GRANT OPERATIONS WE DIVERSIFIED OUR GRANT INCOME FROM ONE FUNDER TO SEVEN AS WELL AS STRENGTHENED OUR SYSTEM TO ENHANCE OUR FUNDRAISING FOR FUTURE YEARS.
- FUNDRAISING AND FINANCIAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS: ON THE LAST DAY OF 2024 OUR NONPROFIT PURCHASED THE BUILDING WE WERE PREVIOUSLY RENTING. THIS WAS A DECISION AS TO NOT HAVE TO RELOCATE, TO HAVE OUR NONPROFIT INCREASE ITS ASSETS, AND BE ABLE TO EXTEND SOME INCOME GENERATION THROUGH RENTING TO OTHER CLINICIANS WHO OFFER HOLISTIC AND ACCESSIBLE CARE. THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE ACCEPTED COMMERCIAL AND MEDICARE INSURANCE WHICH ALLOWED FOR ALMOST DOUBLE IN SERVICE REVENUE MAKING OUR ORGANIZATION MUCH MORE SUSTAINABLE LONG-TERM.
