The Tutwiler Clinic, a non-profit entity was founded in 1983 by Sister Anne Brooks, D.O. and 3 other Sisters of the Holy Names for the purpose of providing wholistic health care in Tallahatchie County, located in the middle of  the Mississippi Delta.

The most recent statistics show the median household income in the County is $18,800, while the US poverty level for a family of 4 is set at $20,650.

Due to the economic status of this county it is not surprising that over 2/3 of new patients have no Medicare or Medicaid or other 3rd party health coverage assistance.  Therefore, we depend on external contributions to meet the demand for our growing expenses necessary to care for the community. 73% of the operating revenue originates through donations from individual and group donors, bequests and charitable foundations.

Contributions to the Tutwiler Clinic are deductible for income tax purposes due to the tax-exempt organization status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

See the graph below to view our 07-08 12 month Quarterly expenses.

Many 3rd party payers take several months to reimburse, therefore income from reimbursement can miss the quarterly report.
There are 32 employees with an expenditure of $1,994,626 for 07-08 .
Our per/patient costs are high because we provide medicine to those who can't pay for it and are not eligible for pharmaceutical company assistance. We occasionally pay for necessary tests so the patients pay us only what they can afford. 

Your donations can go a long way in assisting in the care of a needy patient!
