Neighborhood HealthSource

What Neighborhood HealthSource does

Neighborhood HealthSource is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1971 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The organization operates four clinic locations — Central Clinic (Northeast Minneapolis), Fremont Clinic (North Minneapolis), North Metro Clinic (Coon Rapids), and Sheridan Clinic (in partnership with Eastside Neighborhood Services) — serving uninsured, underinsured, and low-income patients across North and Northeast Minneapolis and Anoka County. Its service portfolio spans primary medical care, behavioral health (including therapy, telepsychiatry, and Medication-Assisted Treatment for opioid use disorder), telehealth, chronic disease management, sexual and reproductive health, prenatal and pediatric care, community health outreach, and youth programs.

The underlying technology stack consists of the athenaOne patient portal (AthenaHealth) for online scheduling and medical records, the ezyAccess platform for online bill payment, and a secure video platform for telehealth consultations. The organization uses its EMR to screen patients for social determinants of health. There is no documented AI/ML capability, proprietary technology development, or API offering.

Neighborhood HealthSource operates a hybrid revenue model combining fee-for-service patient payments (private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid/Medical Assistance, and an income-based sliding fee scale of $20-$75 per visit) with HRSA Health Center Program federal grant funding under 42 U.S.C. 254b and shared savings generated through the FUHN (Federally Qualified Urban Health Network) Accountable Care Organization — the nation's first health-center-led ACO, which saved over $20 million over 5 years. As a non-profit FQHC, the organization is governed by a patient-majority board (51%+ patients) and reinvests margins into community health programming. Recent strategic priorities include The Lowry Project, a health-and-housing facility with CommonBond Communities, and a leadership transition to a new Executive Director in early 2026.
