Healthcare Network

What Healthcare Network does

Healthcare Network is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1977 in Immokalee, Florida, providing integrated primary medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and specialty care services to approximately 50,000 patients annually across 15 physical locations and mobile units in Collier County. The organization operates from its Immokalee headquarters, having grown from two trailers into a network employing nearly 400 service professionals — including approximately 55 physicians and nurse practitioners — and serves all patients regardless of insurance or income status through a sliding fee scale and 340B drug pricing program. Patient access is enabled by a multilingual community outreach team and a Certified Autism Center pediatric dental program.

The technology stack is built around integrated electronic health records (AthenaHealth for medical, Denticon for dental) and the Phreesia platform for mobile check-in and scheduling. A Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program, expanded in December 2025 with a $40,000 Collier Community Foundation grant, uses 250 Bluetooth-enabled blood pressure cuffs, scales, and glucometer kits to monitor 500 high-risk pregnant and chronic care patients. Healthcare Network also operates two CODA-accredited training programs: a Pediatric Dental Residency Program and a Family Medicine Residency Program launching in 2027-2028 in partnership with Lee Health and NCH, the latter addressing a long-term clinician pipeline.

The revenue model combines per-visit clinical service fees (insurance, Medicaid/Medicare, and sliding-scale self-pay), an HRSA Health Center Program grant of approximately $9.95 million under 42 U.S.C. § 254b, and supplemental foundation grants. The organization distributes services through 15 fixed sites, school-based care, and the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile — a mobile pediatric office operating since 2004 that visits 14 Title 1 schools. The model is mission-driven and distribution-led, with ~40 formal community partnerships spanning health systems, schools, agricultural worker advocacy groups, and government agencies.
