Central Outreach Wellness Center

What Central Outreach Wellness Center does

Central Outreach Wellness Center is a Pittsburgh-headquartered, for-profit healthcare organization founded in 2015 by Dr. Stacy Lane, DO, providing culturally humble, judgment-free medical care to LGBTQIA+, HIV-positive, and Hepatitis C-affected communities. The organization operates 9 physical locations across Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh, Washington, Aliquippa, Erie) and Ohio (Cleveland Heights, Columbus), supplemented by after-hours services at non-traditional venues, a mobile outreach van, and weekly street-level testing in Pittsburgh's Hill District. Core clinical services include HIV prevention (PrEP/PEP) and treatment, STI testing, Hepatitis C testing and cure (via the HepCMyWay program), gender-affirming care with hormone therapy, mental health services, HRA/anal pap screening for anal cancer prevention, and harm reduction services including needle exchange and Suboxone treatment.

The technology layer consists of conventional healthcare IT infrastructure: MyChart patient portal integration (via OCHIN/Epic), telehealth platforms powering the PrEP2Me and HepCMyWay programs, a proprietary Partner Diary mobile app for STI partner notification (available on iOS and Android), and digital intake forms. No proprietary AI/ML capabilities, data platforms, or advanced analytics are disclosed. The business model combines insurance-billed clinical services, 340B pharmacy program revenue, federal funding through the Pennsylvania Department of Health for STD treatment, and grant-supported care for uninsured patients. Revenue diversification across clinical billing, pharmacy margins, and government/grant funding reduces concentration risk. Gilead Sciences has recognized Central Outreach as the #1 Hepatitis C treatment provider globally, with the organization having treated over 18,000 Hep C patients in 2025 alone. The organization remains privately held and founder-controlled, with no disclosed external investment, acquisitions, or institutional backing.

Revenue model

1. Clinical Healthcare Services: Revenue from providing healthcare services to patients. Services are billed to insurance for insured patients. The organization is a federally funded organization through the PA Department of Health for STD treatment and services. Uninsured patients receive care at little to no cost through grant funding.
2. 340B Pharmacy Program: The organization participates in the 340B Drug Pricing Program, which allows contracted pharmacy services to help fund the clinic. This enables them to provide care for all patients by using pharmacy services.
