Community Health Centers - Tailored, Community-Driven Solutions
Top healthcare consultants

Many Community Health Centers face common challenges, from cash flows, clinical operations, board governance, and everything in between.  What is unique to each Community Health Center is its backyard.  Because of the uniqueness and nuances of each health center, a one-size-fits-all approach seldom fits into any health center at all.

The THRIVE team has many years of experience working at Community Health Centers across the country and of varying sizes.  We have started operations from the ground up, opened new facilities, rolled up our sleeves when faced with adversity, created market opportunities, streamlined operations, and established lasting partnerships.

We deliver unique value through our work with health centers, creating tailored, community-driven solutions. We collaborate closely with our clients to understand their community’s unique needs and resources to develop the tools, systems, and strategies our clients can depend on for years, not months.

What is a Community Health Center

The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA’s) Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) Health Center Program funds, in part, nearly 1,400 Health Centers across the country.  These Health Centers provide access to primary care for over 31 million people, most living within underserved communities, at over 15,500 locations.  

 

Health Centers are mostly non-profit organizations, although approximately 7% are associated with a governmental entity.  They operate in urban, metropolitan, and remote areas and provide services regardless of one’s ability to pay.  These Health Centers offer various services, including preventative care, dental, mental health, substance abuse, and enabling services. By integrating these services, Health Centers play a crucial role in improving health outcomes and addressing health disparities. Patients can access these services regardless of their ability to pay, as they must offer sliding fee discounts based on income, eliminating any financial barrier to care. All Health Centers must meet strict federal standards for quality and patient satisfaction.  

 

Health Center Look-Alikes (LAs) are certified by HRSA and must meet all the requirements of the Health Center Program without receiving a 330 grant. The following table highlights the benefits of an FQHC and LA operating under the Health Center Program:
