The Open Cities Health Center, Inc. (Open Cities) located in St. Paul, Minnesota is one of the largest nonprofit community health centers in the Twin Cities' area and provides medical, dental, and mental health clinic services. Open Cities served over 17,000 clients from the Minneapolis- St. Paul area that made 56,000 visits to the clinic in 2004. Open Cities is funded primarily through Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grants, Medicare, Medicaid, local grants, donations, and insurance payments. During fiscal year (FY) 2009, HRSA awarded two separate two-year Recovery Act grants totaling $1,035,987 to Open Cities. Our objective was to assess Open Cities' financial viability, capacity to manage and account for Federal funds, and capability to operate a Community Health Center in accordance with Federal regulations.
