Men's Health Foundation

What Men's Health Foundation does

Men's Health Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit healthcare organization headquartered at 9201 Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood, California, with additional clinic locations in South Los Angeles. Founded approximately 25 years ago by Tony Mills, MD, the organization delivers men's health services centered on HIV care and prevention, including primary care, behavioral health (LCSW and LMFT providers offering trauma-informed care, CBT, and EMDR), Medical Care Coordination (MCC) for people living with HIV, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) and PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) services, and 25-minute rapid HIV/STI testing under its "Rapid Results" sub-brand. It also operates Men's Health Foundation Pharmacy, a URAC-, ACHC-, and NABP-accredited in-house specialty pharmacy providing HIV and sexual health medications with free California delivery for MHF clinic patients.

The Foundation runs SoCal Club, a registered-trademark community program launched in 2018 that provides wellness classes and events for BIPOC LGBTQ+ individuals under 30 in South LA and West Hollywood. Clinical trials are offered through a long-standing partnership with Mills Clinical Research, and clinical services are delivered jointly with partner Southern California Men's Medical Group. Distribution channels include in-person clinic visits, walk-in rapid testing, phone consultations, online appointment scheduling via Phreesia, and a pharmacy accessible by phone, the RxLocal web portal, and mobile apps on iOS and Android. Bilingual English/Spanish teams serve the Spanish-speaking community, and the organization accepts PPO plans, MediCal, and LA Care MediCal Managed Care while providing care regardless of insurance status with benefits enrollment assistance.

Revenue is generated through three intertwined streams: insurance reimbursement for clinical and pharmacy services (including MediCal and LA Care), proceeds from the in-house URAC-accredited specialty pharmacy, and grants and charitable donations — the latter including funding from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the City of West Hollywood. Operational footprint is regional, limited to Southern California, with no disclosed plans for expansion beyond the LA market. Reported outcomes include 97.5% viral load suppression among MCC clients and 61.6% undetectability among patients living with HIV.
