Terros Health

What Terros Health does

Terros Health is a nonprofit federally qualified community health center (FQHC) headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, founded in 1969 by co-founders Mark Davis and Bill Thrift. The organization employs between 501 and 1,000 staff and delivers primary care with a clinical specialization in mental health and substance use treatment, serving low-income, uninsured, and Medicaid-dependent populations across Arizona. It is one of 24 FQHCs in the state, which collectively serve approximately 870,000 patients.

As an FQHC operating under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, Terros Health provides care regardless of patients' ability to pay and uses a sliding fee scale for uninsured patients. Revenue is derived primarily from Medicaid reimbursement, which funds 54% of operations across Arizona's community health center network. The organization's payer mix and reimbursement structure are governed by federal and state Medicaid policy, including the federal Health Center Program grant framework.

The company faces material regulatory exposure from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which is projected to cost Arizona's community health centers approximately $34 billion over the next decade and place 300,000+ vulnerable patients at risk of losing Medicaid coverage. No technology platform, AI capabilities, patents, formal partnerships, or M&A activity are documented in the available data, indicating a traditional community-health delivery model with limited commercial diversification.
