Gastrocares Inc
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
WHILE AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LATINX INDIVIDUALS REPRESENT 13% AND 18% OF THE U. S. POPULATION RESPECTIVELY, THEY ARE DRAMATICALLY UNDER-REPRESENTED AS PROVIDERS WITHIN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN GENERAL, AND GASTROENTEROLOGY IN PARTICULAR. WITH ONLY 4% OF PRACTICING GASTROENTEROLOGISTS IDENTIFYING AS AFRICAN AMERICAN AND ONLY 5% IDENTIFYING AS LATINX, IN THE ABSENCE OF MEANINGFUL CHANGE, THE FIELD OF GASTROENTEROLOGY WILL STRUGGLE TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE, EQUITABLE, AND CULTURALLY CONSCIOUS CARE TO A GROWING POPULATION IN NEED OF IT. TO ADDRESS THIS CRITICAL DEFICIT IN THE DIVERSITY OF PROVIDERS, GASTROCARES SEEKS TO INSPIRE MOTIVATED INDIVIDUALS TO PURSUE CAREERS IN MEDICINE THROUGH EARLY EXPOSURE TO PHYSICIAN ROLE MODELS, MENTORS, AND HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES.

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 organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
