Evara Health

What Evara Health does

Evara Health is a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1980 and headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, operating 15+ clinic locations across Pinellas County and serving approximately 70,000 patients annually. It is the 4th largest FQHC in Florida and ranks in the Top 20 nationally for quality of care and Top 5% for cost efficiency among FQHCs. The organization delivers a vertically integrated care model spanning 16 service lines — primary care (family medicine, pediatrics), specialty care (dental, women's health, behavioral health, chiropractic, podiatry, sports medicine, infusion, occupational/physical therapy), pharmacy, nutrition, geriatrics (Evara Gold for patients 55+), and support services including family planning and a Food Rx pharmacy program. Digital channels include telehealth video visits, remote patient monitoring (blood pressure and glucose), and an Epic-based MyChart patient portal.

The business model is a multi-stream nonprofit healthcare revenue structure: (1) patient service revenue from Medicaid, Medicare, Florida KidCare, and private insurance, supplemented by a Sliding Fee Discount Program for income-eligible patients; (2) federal Health Center Program grants under 42 U.S.C. 254b and project-specific federal funding (HHS maternal health grant in 2023, $3.15M Edward White Campus investment in 2026); (3) philanthropic contributions via the Evara Health Foundation; and (4) partnership-funded programs such as Food Rx (Feeding Tampa Bay + Humana) and the Children's Mental Health Initiative (Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County). The organization is governed by a Board of Directors, led by CEO Elodie Dorso (since 2018), and holds NCQA Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home, AAAHC, and FTCA-deemed accreditations.

The customer base is composed of underserved, low-income, uninsured, and underinsured residents of Pinellas County, with dedicated program verticals for women/maternal health, children/adolescents, seniors (55+), and patients with chronic conditions. Recent strategic emphasis has been on co-locating clinics in affordable housing developments (Edward White Campus), expanding the senior care vertical (Evara Gold), and integrating social determinants of health (food security) into clinical care delivery.
