Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

The Nord Center seeks not only to provide services to help people but also to work with our community to solve the root causes of these problems by addressing the stigma around mental illness and sexual assault and by speaking openly about the need for suicide prevention.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

The Nord Center has implemented a three-year strategic plan for the period 2018 to 2021 that has as its three main focus areas: access and capacity; community perception, fundraising and marketing; and the agency's service mix.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

The Nord Center is working to continue to measure its impact and improve its approaches to ensure that the services provided help people to get better. The agency has experienced, dedicated staff working to deliver quality care and to participate in an environment of continuous improvement.

The agency has worked over the three years of the current strategic plan to improve access to care through use of telemedicine; provided a completely new and easier to access website; and most recently moved to a new electronic health record that supports more seamless integration of mental health and primary health for our clients.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

With unmet behavioral healthcare needs in Lorain County, The Nord Center plans to continue to build a strong foundation from which it can continue to grow to better meet those needs. Moving forward in implementing a grant from SAMHSA to support becoming a Certified Community Behavioral Health Center has begun.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.

Policies and processes

We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
