Tri-area Community Health

What Tri-area Community Health does

Tri-Area Community Health is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Laurel Fork, Virginia, founded in 2008 and operating a hub-and-spoke network of six primary care clinics and three school-based health centers across five rural Southwestern Virginia counties (Carroll, Floyd, Franklin, Grayson, and Patrick). The organization delivers an integrated care portfolio that includes primary medical care, behavioral health (including substance use disorder treatment and telepsychiatry), on-site pharmacy services, chronic disease management, and supportive services such as case management and transportation, supplemented by telehealth visits and a 24/7 patient portal built on EClinicalWorks with healow mobile app support and consumer health-tracker integrations. Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining HRSA Section 330 grant funding, fee-for-service patient revenue from Medicare, Virginia Medicaid, and commercial insurance, on-site pharmacy sales, and a sliding-scale discount program for uninsured and underinsured patients at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. The organization holds NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition and CDC Full Plus Recognition for its National Diabetes Prevention Program, and is embedded in the Virginia Health Safety Net and Community Care Network of Virginia, with a locally governed board and staff drawn from the communities served.
