26Health

What 26Health does

26Health is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center-style healthcare organization founded in 2011 and headquartered at 801 N. Magnolia Avenue in Orlando, Florida. It delivers integrated, whole-person care spanning primary care, behavioral health (the Focus26 ADHD and cognitive disorders center), HIV/STI testing, prevention and treatment (including PrEP and PEP), reproductive and sexual health (the Venus Center), chronic disease management, occupational health, ultrasound, chiropractic, weight management (GLP-1 program at $300 per month), hormone replacement therapy, and licensed adoption services. Service delivery is multi-channel: an Orlando flagship clinic, a 40-foot mobile health unit deployed into underserved neighborhoods and community events, telehealth visits through the Healow app, at-home HIV/STI self-test kits via Mistr and Sistr partnerships, and an entity-owned in-house pharmacy opened in Orlando in December 2025 through an expanded partnership with NuvemRx and operated under the federal 340B Drug Benefit Program (since January 1, 2017).

The organization was founded to serve the LGBTQIA+ community and, more broadly, uninsured and underinsured populations across Central Florida through a Sliding Fee Scale Discount Program aligned with Federal Poverty Guidelines, ensuring no patient is turned away due to inability to pay. Differentiation rests on an integrated Test-Talk-Treat model that completes hepatitis C and STI/STD testing, counseling, treatment planning, and medication dispensing in under two hours; rapid HIV testing with results in 20 minutes via finger stick; and 340B-driven prescription prices materially below market for uninsured patients, with savings reinvested into community programs such as the Every Letter Health Equity Fund, the free Evolution Clothing Closet, Operation Prom, and the annual HealthFest community wellness festival.

Revenue is generated through multiple, mission-aligned streams: insurance billings for primary care, behavioral health, and specialty services; sliding-scale patient payments; the 340B pharmacy spread on discounted outpatient drugs; licensed adoption agency fees; individual donations and grants to the 501(c)(3); and the GLP-1 weight management subscription at $300 per month. In March 2026, 26Health acquired Optimal Integrative Care in Atlanta, Georgia (an infectious disease, internal medicine, and primary care practice) and announced an additional 26Health Atlanta facility on Campbellton Road slated for late 2026, marking its first operational move beyond Central Florida and signaling a multi-state Southeast expansion strategy under President & CEO Latrice Stewart and a recently expanded C-suite.

Revenue model

1. Patient Care Services: 26Health generates revenue through billable healthcare services including primary care, behavioral health, psychiatric services, STI testing and treatment, adoption services, occupational health, chiropractic, ultrasound, and weight management. Services are billed to insurance or paid via sliding scale for uninsured patients. The organization is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) model operating as a nonprofit.
2. In-House Pharmacy (340B): 26Health operates its own entity-owned pharmacy (opened in partnership with NuvemRx, expanded December 2025) and participates in the federal 340B drug pricing program, which allows the organization to purchase outpatient drugs at reduced prices and generate revenue from the spread when dispensed to uninsured and underinsured patients. Savings are reinvested into community health programs.
3. Donations and Grants: The Every Letter Health Equity Fund accepts direct donations to fund services for uninsured and underinsured patients. 26Health is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, indicating eligibility for charitable grants and individual donations as a revenue stream supporting its health equity mission.
4. Sliding Fee Scale Payments: Uninsured patients are served under a Sliding Fee Scale Discount Program that provides discounted rates based on household size and income in accordance with Federal Poverty Guidelines. This generates partial payment from patients who cannot afford standard rates while fulfilling the nonprofit health equity mission.
5. Adoption Services: 26Health operates as a licensed adoption agency and child placing agency serving Central Florida, generating revenue through adoption fees including home studies, placement coordination, and post-placement services for both birth parents and adoptive families.
