What Primary Health Solutions does
Primary Health Solutions (legal entity: Butler County Community Health Consortium) is a private, non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) operating under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act and headquartered at 210 S. Second Street, Hamilton, Ohio. Founded in 2006, the organization runs approximately 17 care sites across Butler and Montgomery Counties in Southwest Ohio, including general health centers, 7 school-based health centers, walk-in Express Care and Express Dental clinics, a Mobile Dental Unit, an on-site pharmacy with free same-day prescription delivery, and telehealth/virtual visit capabilities. PHS functions as a Patient-Centered Medical Home for underserved populations, delivering an integrated portfolio of services — primary care, dental, behavioral health, women's health/OB-GYN, pediatrics, vision, chiropractic, cardiology, WIC nutrition, and pharmacy — to more than 48,000 unique patients generating roughly 187,000 annual encounters, with 56-67% of patients reliant on Medicaid. The technology stack centers on the Intelichart patient portal, telehealth/teledentistry platforms, and two deployed AI applications: SoundHound AI's "Denise" voice agent (handling up to 175 simultaneous multilingual calls) and ambient AI clinical transcription for clinician documentation.
PHS is funded primarily through enhanced FQHC Medicaid and Medicare prospective payment system (PPS) reimbursement, the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program (which generated $5.03M in patient prescription savings in 2024), sliding-fee scale service fees based on Federal Poverty Guidelines, and federal/non-federal grants including a five-year $2.725M SAMHSA award (2025-2030) for youth and family recovery services. Grant-maker and partner ecosystem includes HRSA, SAMHSA, Delta Dental Foundation, Interact for Health, OneSight, Butler Behavioral Health Services, Deaconess Associations Foundation, the Butler County Veterans Service Commission, Community First Solutions, and four Ohio school districts. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across all owned sites with no third-party resellers. The organization has aggressively pursued inorganic growth — acquiring the 40-year-old Mital internal medicine practice in 2025 and announcing the acquisition of South Community Behavioral Health in 2026 — alongside organic expansion via Ohio's first Express Dental Center, Oxford dental services, and a five-time regional award-winning employer brand (Cincinnati Business Courier Best Places to Work 2025 winner, 2026 finalist; Journal-News Best of Butler County 2026; 2026 Health Care Hero).
