Sun Life Family Health Center

What Sun Life Family Health Center does

Sun Life Family Health Center, operating as Sun Life Health, is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1976 and headquartered in Casa Grande, Arizona. It operates 11 service locations across Pinal and Maricopa Counties, making it the largest primary care provider in Pinal County, and serves more than 50,000 patients annually, of whom 28% are pediatric. Services span primary care, pediatrics, OB/GYN, family and pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, integrated behavioral health, mammography, onsite pharmacy, diabetes education, and a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program for substance use disorders, all coordinated through a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model and supported by a TeleHealth channel serving patients throughout the two-county area.

The organization runs on a shared Electronic Health Records system (eClinicalWorks) with a Healow-powered patient portal enabling 24/7 access to records, lab results, scheduling, messaging, and refills; clinical pharmacists are integrated into care teams to manage chronic conditions, and AZARA DRVS provides centralized quality and performance reporting. It is voluntarily Joint Commission accredited, a Federal Tort Claims Act deemed facility, and an HRSA Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b, receiving Quality Improvement Awards and the AIMS Project Grant to expand mental health and substance abuse services.

Revenue derives from patient service fees (sliding scale based on income and family size), insurance reimbursement including Medicare and Medicaid, federal grants (HRSA base funding, Ryan White Part A for HIV/AIDS care), and onsite pharmacy sales including $3.99 generics. Distribution is direct to consumers through physical clinics, TeleHealth video visits, online booking via Healow, and a 24/7 phone line. A 4-story 110,000 sq ft consolidated Casa Grande campus opened in Spring 2026 with capacity for 36 primary care providers and 90 exam rooms.
