  • Methodist Healthcare Ministries included CentroMed among 61 nonprofits funded in 2026.
  • CentroMed still lists active eligibility services and multiple clinics in 2026, signaling operating continuity.

What critics are saying

  • The 2024 breach triggered class-action litigation; the Fifth Circuit ruled Feb. 6, 2026.
  • A 2025 pediatric assault allegation against an employed doctor damaged trust and supervision credibility.
