“We knew that if we couldn’t show donors that HPP was working,
we risked not being able to sustain ourselves. Tipping Point convinced
Accenture to provide us with a state-of-the-art database system and
now we can track our results to prove that what we're doing really works.
Tipping Point made it possible for us to mindfully move
into our next twenty years.”

Impact

Bayview Child Health Center: Before BCHC opened in 2007, there were only 1.2 full-time pediatricians serving 10,000 children. Since inception, BCHC has provided more than 5,000 visits to children in the Bayview District.
