The Wright Center Alliance

“Organization exempt purpose: the primary purpose of the wright center alliance (alliance) when incorporated was to operate exclusively for the benefit of, to perform the functions of, or to carry out the purposes of the wright center for graduate medical education (twcgme) by providing the support and benefit, financial or otherwise, through whatever means are determined by the alliance, including support and benefit of one or more affiliates of twcgme, which affiliates are entities described in section 501(c)(3) of the code. The mission of twcgme is to improve the health and welfare of the communities we serve through inclusive and responsive health services and the sustainable renewal of an inspired, competent workforce that is privileged to serve. Twcgme is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and anchor member of a graduate medical education safety-net consortium (gme-snc) as the independent acgme-accredited sponsoring institution of medical residency programs in internal medicine, family medicine, psychiatry, geriatrics, cardiovascular disease and gastroenterology. Twcgme is affiliated with the wright center medical group d/b/a the wright center for community health (twcch), a federally qualified health center look-alike nondiscriminatory essential community provider of primary health services across the lifespan that operates nine primary care practices as well as a medical and dental mobile unit across a five-county service area, and cares for patients regardless of ability to pay or zip code. Collectively, those practices served almost twenty-nine thousand unique patients as of fiscal year end june 30, 2023. After it was conceived, the supporting parent strategic plan for the alliance evolved when twcch, which was previously intended to embrace the alliance as its sole corporate member as twcgme had done, instead remained independent to apply for designation by the u.s. Health resources and services administration (hrsa) as a federally qualified health center look-alike. However, the alliance, as twcgme's supporting parent organization, has been left intact to potentially evolve its governance consistent with its purpose to support other affiliates that may join the system as an affiliate of twcgme.”

“Program service accomplishments: the wright center alliance was originally designed to support the activities of twcgme by providing governance support, engagement and oversight, activity coordination and, potentially, administrative support and assistance in order to ensure maximum operational efficiencies and mission achievement among the alliance system entities. In light of the changes described above, the alliance, as twcgme's supporting parent organization, has been left intact to potentially evolve its governance consistent with its purpose to support other affiliates that may join the system as an affiliate of twcgme.”
