Suncoast Community Health Centers

What Suncoast Community Health Centers does

Suncoast Community Health Centers, Inc. (legal entity: Suncoast Community Health Centers, Inc.) is a private, non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered at 313 S. Lakewood Drive, Brandon, Florida, that has delivered multi-specialty ambulatory care since 1977. The organization operates 10 physical clinic locations across East and South Hillsborough County plus a Lakeland women's health site, and supplements these with mobile medical and dental units that provide adult medicine, wellness visits, lab work, STD screening, oral assessments, prophylaxis, fluoride varnish, and dental sealants. Service lines span adult and pediatric medical and dental care, behavioral health, optometry, pharmacy (including a drive-thru site in Ruskin), podiatry, chiropractic, women's health/OB-GYN, laboratory, X-ray, and EKG services. The patient base is concentrated in Medicaid and Medicare populations and other under- and uninsured residents of Hillsborough County, with care priced on a sliding fee scale tied to family size and income.

On the technology side, Suncoast CHC runs the eClinicalWorks EHR platform across all facilities, exposes the eClinicalWorks Patient Portal for scheduling, records access and televisits, and uses the Healow Pay billing portal. In October 2025 the organization began deploying Sunoh.ai's ambient listening and AI-powered documentation tooling to reduce provider administrative burden across its roughly 75 providers. The core technology stack is therefore a third-party EHR with embedded third-party ambient-AI scribe capability rather than any proprietary system.

The business model is a hybrid of (i) patient services revenue from Medicaid, Medicare and commercial insurance billings on a sliding fee schedule, and (ii) federal grant funding as a Health Center grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b administered by HRSA. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across physical clinics, mobile units, telehealth, and a referral network anchored by Tampa General Hospital, Lakeland Regional Medical Center, Baycare, South Florida Baptist Hospital, NYU Langone Health (dental medicine), Feeding Tampa Bay, RCMA (migrant farmworkers) and the Children's Board of Hillsborough County. The organization is FTCA-deemed, PCMH-accredited by AAAHC, and holds HRSA Health Information Technology recognition.
