Rodgers Health Center ("Sam Rodgers") has provided affordable, high-quality healthcare services to children, adults, and families throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area. Founded in 1968 by Dr. Samuel U. Rodgers, the first board-certified African American OB/GYN in Kansas City, the organization was established on the principle that healthcare is a basic human right. Today, Sam Rodgers continues its mission to provide compassionate, comprehensive healthcare services to all individuals regardless of their ability to pay. Sam Rodgers is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) and was the first organization in Missouri and one of the first health centers nationally to receive this designation. The organization provides integrated primary and preventive healthcare services including adult and senior medicine, pediatrics, adolescent medicine, women's health and obstetrical care, behavioral health, oral health, pharmacy, laboratory, and diagnostic imaging services. Services are delivered through multiple clinic locations in Jackson and Clay Counties as well as school-based health programming within the Blue Springs School District. Sam Rodgers is recognized as a Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), reflecting its commitment to coordinated, team-based care that engages patients and families in treatment planning, preventive care, chronic disease management, and follow-up services. In addition, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) recognized Sam Rodgers as a Silver Quality Leader for two consecutive years, placing the organization among the top-performing federally qualified health centers nationally for clinical quality measures. In September 2023, Sam Rodgers received HRSA funding to establish the first Nurse Practitioner Residency Program within a Missouri FQHC. The residency program achieved accreditation through the Consortium for Advanced Practice Providers in 2025 and provides advanced clinical training focused on pediatric and community-based healthcare delivery. In November 2025, Sam Rodgers expanded pediatric services through the opening of a new pediatric wing designed to increase access and enhance care for children and families across the service area. The organization continues to address barriers that impact access to healthcare services for medically underserved populations. Transportation assistance is provided to support patient access to appointments and reduce missed visits. Certified enrollment specialists assist patients and community members with enrollment in MO HealthNet (Medicaid/CHIP) and Affordable Care Act Marketplace insurance coverage programs. Sam Rodgers was also one of 35 health centers nationally selected to receive HRSA funding focused on reducing maternal mortality. Through this initiative, the organization established a Prenatal and Postpartum Health Home (PPHH) program that strengthens care coordination services for high-risk obstetric patients and addresses both clinical and non-clinical factors that may impact maternal and infant health outcomes. Sam Rodgers serves patients from a wide range of backgrounds and communities throughout the Kansas City region. During the reporting year, 62% of patients were best served in a language other than English. To support accurate communication, patient understanding, and high-quality care delivery, interpretation services were provided in more than 40 languages through certified medical interpreters and language access technology platforms. During the reporting year, Sam Rodgers provided care to 19,925 individuals, of whom approximately 85% were uninsured or enrolled in Medicaid. The organization provided approximately $5.1 million in uncompensated care through discounted services and financial assistance programs. By expanding access to preventive and primary healthcare services, Sam Rodgers helps reduce avoidable emergency room utilization, improve community health outcomes, and strengthen the overall health and well-being of the communities it serves. 27146691 true true false false false false false true false false true false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true false false true 40 0 true 369 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true true false false MO X CHRISTOPHER WALKER 8168894801 825 EUCLID AVE KANSAS CITY MO 64124 ARIF AHMED DIRECTOR/TREASURER 1.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 BETTY NWABUONWU DIRECTOR/SECRETARY 1.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 CARMEN PARKER-BRADSHAW DIRECTOR/ SECRETARY/ VICE CHAIR - ENDING MAR 2025 1.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH BORDENAVE DIRECTOR/VICE CHAIR/CHAIRPERSON 1.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 SHELLEY PENN DIRECTOR/VICE CHAIR 1.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 VICTOR HAMMONDS DIRECTOR/TREASURER - ENDING DEC 2024 1.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 BRUCE WILLIAMS DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DR GLADESIA TOLBERT DIRECTOR - ENDING APR 2025 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH COOPER MCFADDEN DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 GABRIELA FLORES DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JESSICA MARIE HUTCHISON DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 KATIE FERRO DIRECTOR - ENDING JUL 2025 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL MCCUNNIFF DIRECTOR - ENDING DEC 2024 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA HERNANDEZ DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 RHONDA HOLMAN DIRECTOR - ENDING DEC 2024 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 RITA RODGERS STANLEY DIRECTOR - ENDING DEC 2024 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 SUSAN GARRETT DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 THEODIS WATSON DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 BOB THEIS CEO/PRESIDENT 40.0 1.0 X 269582 0 28486 CHRISTOPHER WALKER CFO/TREASURER 40.0 1.0 X 166947 0 23970 JEFFERY UTTER PHYSICIAN 40.0 0.0 X 262498 0 39699 NIVA SHAKYA PHYSICIAN 40.0 0.0 X 236269 0 11651 ROBBIE HARRIFORD PHYSICIAN/CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 263724 0 21169 SANGEETA DALAL PHYSICIAN 40.0 0.0 X 252655 0 12119 TIFFANY SWANSON OBGYN PHYSICIAN 40.0 0.0 X 225579 0 28143 1677254 0 165237 39 false true false AL HUBER GENERAL CONTRACTOR 10770 EL MONTE ST OVERLAND PARK KS 66211 CONSTRUCTION 3935869 COMPREHENSIVE PHARMACY SERVICES LLC 655 METRO PLACE SOUTH SUITE 450 DUBLIN OH 43017 PHARMACY MANAGEMENT 810583 PREFERRED TITLE OF ST JOSEPH LLC 2402 N WOODBINE RD ST JOSEPH MO 64506 TITLE MANAGEMENT 400000 BURTIN AND ASSOCIATION 5227 BLUE PARKWAY KANSAS CITY MO 64130 COMMERCIAL JANITORIAL SERVICES 345915 VESTA TELERADIOLOGY 1071 S SUN DR SUITE 2001 LAKE MARY FL 32746 RADIOLOGY SERVICES 282250 15 40027 9636778 2766240 157344 12443045 NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE 621400 17614961 17614961 340B DRUG PROGRAM 621400 213375 213375 0 0 0 0 17828336 455789 455789 4000 0 4000 0 4000 4000 1004271 0 926774 4376 77497 -4376 73121 73121 ALL OTHER REVENUE 900099 1954 1954 Missouri Health Plus LLC Income 900099 39205 39205 0 0 0 0 41159 30845450 17867541 0 534864 584705 501330 83375 18458235 15831620 2626615 536903 449691 87212 1382569 1269350 113219 1378640 1192619 186021 60093 60093 266665 266665 18475 18475 2519627 1679465 840162 0 340497 254279 86218 1387616 1007158 380458 1300056 1022391 277665 482411 11146 471265 136411 118611 17800 16901 6750 10151 511536 511501 35 1474361 546186 928175 180916 180916 MEDICAL SUPPLIES 2406926 2406847 79 EDUCATION 102027 79508 22519 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 215855 130484 85371 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 114931 77233 37698 190144 50522 139622 0 34066500 27146691 6919809 0 0 53580 5002900 3777853 6078031 1560148 6669143 5807212 0 0 0 0 14288000 14288000 76325 93836 230014 481973 43194342 24077647 18719506 19116695 2674724 2952403 0 617009 656214 277414 757514 54633066 49545428 3649850 3864178 2573666 2497643 0 0 9327917 2127917 63652 469003 15615085 8958741 X 32187761 39071912 6830220 1514775 39017981 40586687 54633066 49545428 X -3221050 160172 4629584 X false true true true true X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X false 1746060 1746060 29642321 15523307 14119014 522957 79308 443649 9714375 8475032 1239343 1568629 1568629 19116695 Federal Income Taxes OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 469003 469003 30987147 160172 0 160172 30826975 18475 0 18475 30845450 34048025 0 0 34048025 18475 0 18475 34066500 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS MANAGEMENT HAS EVALUATED THEIR INCOME TAX POSITIONS UNDER THE GUIDANCE INCLUDED IN ASC 740.
