Central Virginia Health Services

What Central Virginia Health Services does

Central Virginia Health Services, Inc. (CVHS) is a community-based, non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 1970 and headquartered in New Canton, Virginia. The organization operates 22+ health center locations across Central Virginia — spanning Buckingham, Fluvanna, Charles City, Brunswick, Petersburg, Farmville, Fredericksburg, Hopewell, Prince George, King William, Louisa, Charlottesville, Southern Albemarle, Westmoreland, Caroline, Charlotte, and additional counties — and in 2024 served 45,063 patients across 177,528 visits. CVHS provides integrated primary care combining medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, addiction treatment (office-based MAT), and telehealth services, plus ancillary programs such as school-based clinics at Hopewell and Petersburg high schools and a specialized Children's Dental Center operated through a partnership with Caroline County and the Rappahannock Health District.

CVHS's revenue model rests on three streams: (1) patient services revenue from insured payers (most major insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, HMO plans) and sliding-scale fees for uninsured patients based on family size and income; (2) federal FQHC grant funding under 42 U.S.C. 254b, which provides stable support tied to administrative, clinical, and financial compliance standards; and (3) tax-deductible donations as a 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN 46-4185981), processed in part through Network for Good. Patient-directed governance requires at least 51% of the governing board to be patients served, and FTCA deemed status under 42 U.S.C. 233(g)-(n) provides medical malpractice liability coverage.

Operationally, the organization runs an integrated electronic medical record system enabling coordinated care across medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services; a healow-branded patient portal for online scheduling, bill payment, and provider messaging; URAC-accredited mail service and specialty pharmacy operations plus ACHC accreditation; pharmacy services with pick-up, mail-out, walk-up, and drive-through options at Buckingham, Petersburg, Louisa, and Charlotte; a Care Coordination / Care for Everyone sales-led model through direct scheduling and Certified Application Counselor support for Health Insurance Marketplace enrollment via HealthCare.gov and CoverVA.org partnerships. Leadership comprises CEO Paula Tomko, CFO/CIO Charles Allbaugh, COO Amanda Morgan, and CMO Dr. Andrew Walker, supported by clinical directors across medical, pharmacy, dental, behavioral health, psychiatric services, and nursing. Distribution is direct, regional, and field-based across the 22+ sites, with telehealth functioning as an additional access channel.
