Athens Neighborhood Health Center

What Athens Neighborhood Health Center does

Athens Neighborhood Health Center (legal name: Athens Model Neighborhood Health Center, Inc.) is a private nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 1971 in Athens-Clarke County, Georgia. It operates four locations across the county — the McKinley Clinic (medical, dental, behavioral health, podiatry, pharmacy), the College Clinic (medical, pediatrics, pharmacy), the Hilsman Health Center school-based clinic (medical, dental within Clarke County School District), and an administrative building — supplemented by a mobile medical and dental unit launched in 2026. Service lines span family practice, pediatrics, dentistry, behavioral health, pharmacy, podiatry, imaging, immunization, laboratory, acute and chronic care, plus enabling services such as telehealth, financial counseling, insurance enrollment assistance, and a UGA-partnered diabetes education program.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid FQHC model combining federal HRSA Section 330 funding, patient services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay (with a sliding fee scale funded by HHS), 340B pharmacy program spread on in-house prescriptions, and donor contributions including planned giving. Pricing for medications is anchored by 340B (many common maintenance drugs start at $0), and uninsured/underinsured patients receive discounts based on household size and income. Technology infrastructure is conventional healthcare IT — eClinicalWorks EHR and patient portal, healow appointment scheduling, and the Rx Local mobile pharmacy app — with telehealth available for select services including pediatrics.

ANHC serves a diffuse patient base of uninsured, underinsured, and Medicaid/Medicare-insured residents across Athens-Clarke County and surrounding communities, with a particular focus on historically underserved populations east of the Oconee River. The organization holds FTCA deemed status, NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition (2018), and FQHC designation from HRSA (2012), and is governed by a community board of directors.
