Rocking Horse Community Health Center

What Rocking Horse Community Health Center does

Rocking Horse Community Health Center (RHCHC) is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 1999 and headquartered in Springfield, Ohio, serving the medically underserved populations of Clark, Champaign, and Madison Counties. The organization operates from seven access points: a main 42,000+ square-foot campus at 651 S. Limestone St, school-based clinics at Springfield High and the School of Innovation, an on-site clinic at the Mulberry Terrace affordable housing project, a Madison County location in London, and the James E. Sheehan mobile Health Bus that delivers primary care directly into Springfield neighborhoods. RHCHC was granted full-status FQHC designation in February 2009, joining the federal HRSA Health Center Program and gaining access to cost-based reimbursement, 340B drug pricing, and Federal Tort Claims Act coverage.

The clinical platform integrates medical, dental (Chakeres Dental Care, opened 2017), behavioral health, substance use treatment with medication-assisted therapy, chiropractic (Chiropractic Solutions, opened 2017), and on-site pharmacy services under shared records, operating as a Joint Commission Certified Primary Care Medical Home. The technology stack is built on a third-party Intelichart patient portal, an unnamed EHR, and telehealth for remote visits; no proprietary AI or ML capability is disclosed. Service delivery spans prenatal through adult care, behavioral health counseling, psychiatry, therapy groups, dental, chiropractic, and wraparound patient advocacy plus insurance enrollment and material-assistance programming through the Parent Infant Center.

RHCHC's revenue model is multi-stream and characteristic of an FQHC: federal HRSA grant funding, Medicaid/Medicare/private-insurance reimbursement, sliding-fee-scale patient payments, and recurring support from foundations (United Way, Springfield Foundation, Community Health Foundation, CareSource), corporate sponsors (Delta Dental, CVSHealth, PNC, Huntington), and individual donors. The Center grew from a 1999 pediatric-only clinic serving 1,700 children to an organization with 160+ employees, four primary fixed locations and additional mobile/school-based sites, having served over 13,500 patients and provided over 63,600 patient visits as of 2018.
