Five Rivers Health Centers

What Five Rivers Health Centers does

Five Rivers Health Centers is a private nonprofit Federally-Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, providing comprehensive primary medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, vision, podiatry, sports medicine, and infectious disease services across eight locations in Montgomery and Greene Counties. Founded in 2011 and operating under Health Center Program grantee status (42 U.S.C. 254b) with Federal Tort Claims Act liability protection, the organization serves approximately 27,000 patients generating 87,000 annual visits, with care delivered regardless of ability to pay through a sliding fee scale for households at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level and free Medicaid/Marketplace enrollment assistance.

The underlying technology stack is conventional community-health IT rather than proprietary: Epic-based MyChart patient portal (delivered through a Premier Health Partners integration), participation in regional Health Information Exchanges for EHR interoperability, telehealth video and phone visit infrastructure, and a 340B pharmacy management system supporting an in-house specialty pharmacy that holds URAC accreditation. The Family Health Center facility is LEED certified, and the organization maintains NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition.

The business model combines insurance reimbursement (most major plans accepted), federal FQHC grant funding, and savings from the federal 340B drug pricing program — under which outpatient medications are purchased at manufacturer-discounted rates while insurance reimburses at retail — with surplus reinvested into expanded service lines and new sites. Recent execution includes a $11.7 million Xenia Campus opened April 2026 (consolidating two prior Xenia locations into an integrated one-stop-shop) and a stated intent to add a second Greene County location in Fairborn within two years. Customer acquisition is community-based, relying on outreach and enrollment coordinators, social media, free community events, school-based health center access, and a multilingual digital presence spanning seven languages.

Revenue model

1. 340B Pharmacy Program: Under the 340B Program, the health center purchases outpatient prescription medications at discounted rates from manufacturers. Insurance companies reimburse at retail rates, allowing the organization to realize savings that are reinvested into services and programs. This enables provision of care to patients regardless of ability to pay.
2. Patient Services and Insurance Reimbursement: Revenue from insurance reimbursements (accepts most insurance) and patient fees. Sliding fee scale discounts available for patients at or below 200% of Federal Poverty Level.
3. Federal 340B Savings Reinvestment: Savings from the 340B program are reinvested to expand services (vision, podiatry, sports medicine, infectious disease), expand service locations, and help eligible patients pay for medication costs and out-of-pocket healthcare costs.
