Health Care Collaborative

What Health Care Collaborative does

Health Care Collaborative, doing business as HCC Network, is a private nonprofit Rural Health Network and Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Lexington, Missouri. Founded in 2004 as the Health Care Coalition of Lafayette County and rebranded in January 2012 as Health Care Collaborative of Rural Missouri, the organization operates a hub-and-spoke delivery model across six fixed clinics (Buckner, Carrollton, Concordia, Independence, Lexington, Waverly), three mobile units (medical, dental, behavioral), a 7,500-square-foot warehouse, and a Resource Hub for re-entry services, serving approximately 7,900 unique patients annually in west central Missouri (Lafayette, Carroll, Ray, and eastern Jackson counties). It runs an integrated three-pillar service portfolio — primary care, dental, and behavioral health — with extensive wraparound programs including HCC Rides transportation (30-mile radius), Remote Patient Monitoring integrated with the Healow patient portal, the 340B drug-pricing program through four pharmacy partners, sliding-scale fees, community health workers, peer recovery specialists funded by RCORP, an After Hours Nurse Advice Line, mobile mammography, DOT physicals, and a Dental Assistant Training Program.

HCC's technology stack is built on the eClinicalWorks electronic medical record and Healow patient portal, with telehealth virtual visits for established patients and remote monitoring devices (blood-glucose, pulse-ox, BP cuffs, scales) feeding back into the portal. It holds FTCA deemed facility status and FQHC designation under 42 U.S.C.254b, providing federal malpractice protection and access to HRSA grant funding; HIPAA compliance governs patient data; the Recovery Friendly Workplace designation (2026) and VA Veterans Choice Provider status further extend its regulatory posture. HCC operates with 120+ employees under CEO Toniann Richard (since 2007) and a C-suite including COO Amanda Arnold, CIO Barry Chambers, CAO Brook Balentine, and CFO Jonelle Hall, governed by a Board chaired by Stephen Munson.

The revenue model is a hybrid consistent with FQHC operations: patient service revenue from Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and sliding-scale self-pay; 340B drug-pricing margin captured through four pharmacy partners; federal HRSA and state grants; and charitable donations via Givebutter and regional foundations including the Healthcare Foundation of Greater Kansas City, REACH Foundation, and Health Forward Foundation. Customer segments are rural underserved populations of all ages plus targeted cohorts — families, behavioral health and substance use patients, veterans via the VA Community Care Network, and justice-involved individuals. The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer delivery (appointments via phone, online scheduling, healow portal), event-driven outreach (Project Connect, mobile mammograms), and community-led partnerships with nine school districts and multiple chambers of commerce across rural Missouri.
