Weathering the Storm with Your Partnership
August 2009
The current economy and changes in federal funding have had an effect on many nonprofit organizations, including Midwest CareCenter.

For example, we recently streamlined operations in order to provide better access to care as well as more efficient and effective services to our patients and their families.

You may be wondering “How is the organization doing?” “Have my investments been worthwhile?” So here is a quick summary of the fiscal health of Midwest CareCenter.

  • Our balance sheet continues to be strong, with solid cash and short-term investment balances.


  • We carry no debt beyond regular monthly accounts payable.


  • Operational spending has been reduced to align with decreases in patient revenues.
  • The endowment fund continues to grow.

Most importantly,

  • We continue to provide exceptional care to patients and their families, including those who are inadequately insured or have no insurance coverage at all.


  • Healthcare professionals and community members benefit from our educational efforts that promote greater access to the right healthcare at the right time.

All of this has been possible because of the commitment of Midwest CareCenter staff and volunteers as well as the continued generosity of our donors.

We are confident that with good stewardship of resources, responsible leadership choices and your continued partnership, we will carry out our mission of reaching out and providing assistance to seriously ill individuals as well as their families for years to come.

We ask you to continue to invest in Midwest CareCenter and invite you to contact Craig Dresang, VP of community development, or Anne Rossiter, senior director of philanthropy, to learn about the giving opportunities that are available.
