Pathways Health and Community Support

What Pathways Health and Community Support does

Pathways Health and Community Support, now operating under the Clarvida brand, is a private, for-profit behavioral health and social services provider founded circa 1974 and headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The company delivers community-based outpatient behavioral health services (counseling, therapy, psychiatric support), residential services for individuals with intellectual disabilities and serious mental health conditions, and foster care services (foster parent training, case management, clinical services for children). It also operates specialized autism services and counseling/therapy programs as distinct verticals. The company is led by CEO Jill Winters, with Michael Tang as Corporate CFO and John T. Kelly as Chief Medical Officer.

Clarvida operates across 16 U.S. states with a workforce of approximately 4,600 employees, serving roughly 54,000 unique clients and delivering 1.6 million services annually, with more than 1,000 foster children served daily. The geographic footprint spans Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington. Foster care programs are delivered in 9 of these states, with state-specific web properties supporting local foster parent recruitment and case management. The company rebranded from Pathways Health and Community Support to Clarvida in 2025 as part of broader corporate identity consolidation across the multi-state footprint.

The business model is a managed-services, government-funded healthcare delivery model with revenue generated through Medicaid, state behavioral health authorities, and child welfare agency contracts. The go-to-market is community-led and direct: services are delivered through locally embedded outpatient clinics, residential facilities, and foster care programs rather than via any disclosed technology platform or licensing arrangement. There is no proprietary technology platform, no app, no public API, and no public pricing. Recent inorganic expansion has included the September 2021 acquisition of Renew Consulting (residential behavioral health) and the January 2022 acquisition of Human Resource Training, Inc. (HRT) in Arizona, which expanded Arizona coverage from 8 to 12 counties. A December 2025 partnership with the MSEP (Military Supports Employment Program) added a new referral channel for military families.
