Evergreen Health

What Evergreen Health does

Evergreen Health is a Buffalo, New York-based federally qualified health center (FQHC) and 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1983 (originally as AIDS Community Services) that delivers integrated medical, behavioral, and supportive services to underserved populations across the eight counties of Western New York. Its service portfolio spans adult and pediatric primary care, specialty care (HIV, hepatitis C, LGBTQ+ care, IDD, gynecology, podiatry, dental), mental health and substance use services, harm reduction and syringe exchange, two in-house pharmacy locations with free home delivery, supportive housing through Evergreen Lofts (56 units), a food pantry with FeedMore WNY, chronic disease self-management via THRIVE Wellness, and community programming through MOCHA Buffalo and Community Access Services (CAS). All locations operate under NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home certification, with patient access supported by a Medent-based patient portal, online scheduling, walk-in services for select programs, and a mobile harm reduction unit serving all eight counties.

The organization's underlying technology stack is conventional rather than proprietary: an EHR-integrated patient portal (Medent), a care-coordination workflow aligned to the PCMH model, and digital self-serve channels for scheduling, refills, and provider messaging. There is no evidence of proprietary AI/ML, custom clinical decisioning, or external API products. Distribution is anchored by ~9 physical sites (including a new center planned for Summer 2026 at 3070 Bailey Avenue), a mobile syringe/harm reduction program, and a free-delivery pharmacy operation using electric vehicles.

Revenue is generated through a mix of patient service billing across Medicaid, Medicare, ADAP, PREP-AP, and multiple commercial plans; federal and state grants including Ryan White Part B and HOPWA; 340B drug pricing program economics on the in-house pharmacy; and charitable contributions through the Evergreen Health Foundation and annual events (Dining Out For Life, Buffalo Pride). Pricing to patients includes a sliding fee discount program for uninsured/underinsured individuals and a Financial Counseling Center for insurance enrollment, while PrEP services are typically delivered at $0 out-of-pocket for eligible patients.
