What Gifford Health Care Inc does
Mission
The mission of Gifford Health Care, Inc. and its subsidiaries is to enhance the health and well-being of our communities by providing excellent patient-centered care including senior living services.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In 2024, OB/GNY and midwifery were moved to Gifford Medical Center.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
GHC is a CHC deemed federally qualified health center offering primary care, pediatrics, psychiatric, and substance use services in convenient locations throughout central VT and the upper valley. Family-friendly primary care practices are all patient centered medical homes and uniquely dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible care. Services include prevention and wellness such as annual well-child visits and sports physicals, childhood immunizations, acute care, family education on healthy behaviors, substance abuse and child development, medication management, psychiatric care, management of chronic conditions, eye and hearing screenings, timely care for acute illness and helping patients find dental care.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $11,250,098.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $2.0M to $1.3M (−38%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 14% · 2018 14% · 2019 14% · 2020 19% · 2021 23% · 2022 23% · 2023 23% · 2024 22% · 2025 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
13% of Gifford Health Care Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (7% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 9 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
