Broadview

What Broadview does

Broadview, Inc. is a California nonprofit Religious Nonmedical Health Care Institution founded in 1947, operating the only Christian Science nursing facility in the Los Angeles area from an 11-acre campus at 4570 Griffin Avenue. Its core product is on-site Christian Science nursing care delivered by Journal-listed nurses to patients who rely exclusively on Christian Science for healing — priced at $800/day for full nursing care, $500/day for lower-tier Christian Science Care, and from $32/half-hour for outpatient care, with Medicare Part A coverage available for eligible patients. The organization supplements inpatient care with a Southern California Visiting Christian Science Nurse Service ($65/hour after a complimentary first hour), a 24/7 Virtual Visiting Nurse Hotline serving patients nationwide at no charge via phone, Zoom, and FaceTime, and The Haven at Broadview — a hospitality wing offering private rooms and chef-prepared meals to spiritually minded independent guests.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: approximately half of operating revenue comes from service invoices (per-diem nursing fees, hourly visiting nurse rates, and monthly Haven fees), with the other half from individual donors, monthly giving, bequests, IRA charitable rollovers, retail round-up programs, and foundation grants — notably a three-year, $235,000 grant from the Isabel Foundation (2015) and a $25,000 matching grant from the Clearway Foundation (2015), with only 27% of the budget allocated to administration. Customer acquisition is community-led, relying on referrals from 200+ Christian Science churches, Care Committees, Journal-listed practitioners, the monthly Spiritual Activities Calendar distributed worldwide, free community workshops, and an Annual Meeting. The organization also operates a four-level Christian Science nurse training program with on-site housing and mentorships, and has invested in sustainability infrastructure including a 1,441-panel solar array. It is led by Executive Director Bill Cunningham (appointed 2023) with Melanie Pilonieta as Director of Christian Science Nursing and a Board of Directors governing an independent, non-VC-backed nonprofit structure.

Broad incumbents

• Adventist Health: A large multi-state, faith-based nonprofit health system operating hospitals, nursing facilities, and home health across the western U.S., including the greater Los Angeles area.

• Providence St. Joseph Health: A Catholic, faith-based nonprofit health system with hospitals, hospice, and senior services in Southern California (including near Broadview's service area). Comparable in mission-driven nonprofit care delivery and Medicare participation, though across the medical/skill spectrum.
