We are complementary. We are not a competing clinic.
The Canal is roughly twelve to sixteen thousand people in about half a square mile, and it already has a federally qualified health center inside it. A second would split a small neighborhood and duplicate what works.
Marin Community Clinics
An established federally qualified health center with a site inside the Canal, serving roughly 40,000 patients across Marin, with 340B drug pricing already in place. The clinical home. We intend to partner so our navigators walk neighbors into care that already exists — and so neighbors reach discounted medication pricing we could never build ourselves.
Canal Alliance
The trusted anchor of this neighborhood — legal, immigration, education, and social services. Not a health provider and not a competitor. We intend to work alongside them for trust and referral, and we do not intend to operate here without them.
Partnership HealthPlan of California
The Medi-Cal plan serving Marin. Any community health worker billing, rate, or enhanced care management contract runs through them. Our unit economics are unknowable until they answer.
Marin County Behavioral Health & Recovery Services
The county behavioral health plan. Peer support services and licensed clinical social work run through this delivery system.
CureRays Institute
A 501(c)(3) focused on research, education, and public health. Intended role: the training academy credentialing our navigators, and the research arm measuring whether this works — and publishing it either way.
GVRO (dba CureRays)
A for-profit medical professional corporation owned by our founder, providing specialty cancer screening. Disclosed deliberately. Separate business, arm’s length. Cannot receive charitable donations, cannot access 340B pricing.
It is not the primary care home and never will be. That is the community clinic’s role. We are not going to route neighbors to a business our founder owns when a federally qualified health center will see them for less. Any transaction between us requires disinterested-director approval at fair market value. Full disclosures →
The Corporation of The Church of Faith and Reason
Founding supporter. It does not operate kindMANkind. We are forming as a separate 501(c)(3) with an independent majority board, because an organization promising transparency should file a public Form 990 — and because help must never carry a religious condition, or the appearance of one.
Why the separation matters
Value may flow from the affiliated for-profit to the nonprofit — donated supervision, space, expertise. Value flowing the other way is exactly what destroys nonprofits, and we have structured to prevent it rather than to explain it later.
