North Georgia Healthcare Center

What North Georgia Healthcare Center does

North Georgia Healthcare Center (operating as Tri-Med Family Care) is a private, non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered at 6120 Alabama Highway in Ringgold, Georgia, established in 2006 and operational since 2009. The organization delivers community-based primary healthcare to families and individuals in Catoosa County and surrounding North Georgia communities, and is recognized as a National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). Its service portfolio spans primary care, behavioral health, women's health, preventive care, annual wellness, hospital follow-up, and family planning, delivered through a small clinical team of seven providers, an in-house 340B discount pharmacy (walk-in and drive-thru), a mobile health unit, and a healow-powered online patient portal.

The center generates revenue through a mix of federal HHS funding tied to its FQHC designation, third-party insurance and patient payments for clinical services, 340B pharmacy program revenue, and participation in the Georgia Family Planning System (GFPS). The organization holds Federal PHS deemed status covering medical malpractice claims for itself and its covered individuals, and partners with HealthCare 360 (healow) for patient portal technology. Its go-to-market is fundamentally community-led, relying on local reputation, patient testimonials, and word-of-mouth rather than enterprise sales or large-scale marketing campaigns.

The business model is anchored in regulatory entitlements: FQHC status provides stable federal funding, NCQA PCMH recognition signals quality, and 340B drug pricing provides a structural cost advantage on medications. With 1-10 employees, modest philanthropic inflows ($80,000 from the Georgia Baptist Health Care Ministry Foundation in February 2024, and $175,200 from AstraZeneca in 2014), and a single-clinic footprint, the organization is a small, mission-driven community health provider rather than a scaling enterprise. Leadership is in an interim configuration (Interim CEO/CHO Jennifer Barnes McCants, Interim CFO/COO Terry Tucker, CMO Dr. Dorel Bidiuc, Founder/owner DeLaine Hunter).
