Philadelphia FIGHT

What Philadelphia FIGHT does

Philadelphia FIGHT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 1990 that operates eight community health centers in central Philadelphia delivering primary care, HIV/hepatitis C specialty care, behavioral health, dental, pediatric and adolescent medicine, PrEP/PEP, and substance use disorder treatment to populations facing health disparities — including people with HIV/AIDS, LGBTQIA+ individuals, youth ages 0-26, the uninsured and underinsured, people experiencing homelessness or housing instability, and individuals transitioning from incarceration. The organization also runs Project TEACH (peer education program that has graduated over 8,000 participants since 1996), the Critical Path Learning Center (adult education, technology access, workforce development), BenePhilly public benefits enrollment, ICJ Prison Linkages, and the Trans Youth Resilience Fund.

The operating technology base is conventional clinical infrastructure: eClinicalWorks electronic medical records and a tethered patient portal (mycw114.ecwcloud.com), standardized clinical delivery systems across the eight centers, and telehealth-enabled same-day PrEP starts with at-home testing. A research collaboration with the Wistar Institute supports HIV cure-directed studies, immunopathogenesis research, and clinical trials of next-generation antiretrovirals — distinguishing FIGHT from a typical FQHC and creating a publication and trial-enrollment pipeline.

Revenue is multi-stream and characteristic of FQHC financing: patient service revenue across Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance with a sliding fee schedule for uninsured patients (capped for Ryan White-eligible patients), federal grants (HHS funding with Federal Public Health Service deemed status enabling Federal Tort Claims Act malpractice coverage), philanthropic donations (e.g., $250K Miller Family Foundation in February 2025), and clinical research grants. The 35-year operating history, three Top Doctors (Philadelphia Magazine 2025), and 25-person-plus C-suite concentration in specialized HIV/infectious disease and behavioral health reflect a mature safety-net provider whose go-to-market is community-led — walk-in, low-barrier, culturally competent care delivered regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, distributed via direct clinic visits, a dedicated PrEP hotline, and community partnerships (Walgreens, Diagnostics Direct, Broad Street Love, District 1199c).
