Siskiyou Community Health Center

What Siskiyou Community Health Center does

Siskiyou Community Health Center (SCHC) is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving Josephine County, Oregon, and the broader Southern Oregon region. Founded in 1973 as the Takilma People's Clinic and granted FQHC status in the 1990s, the organization has expanded through multiple mergers and facility builds into a multi-site integrated care provider. SCHC operates two full-service clinics (Grants Pass at a LEED-certified campus and Cave Junction with a 10,000+ sq ft facility), five School-Based Health Centers embedded in Evergreen Elementary, Lorna Byrne Middle, Illinois Valley High, North Valley High, and Grants Pass High School, three Healthy Families early-childhood locations (Grants Pass, Cave Junction, Medford), an in-house pharmacy at each campus, a Mobile CareVan Dental Clinic, and a virtual visit service.

SCHC's service portfolio spans primary care, walk-in urgent care, pediatrics, OB/maternity, behavioral health (including Medication Assisted Treatment for opioid use disorder), laboratory and radiology, general dentistry, and outreach programs including Siskiyou Smiles (school-based dental prevention). The underlying technology stack is composed of third-party healthcare SaaS: InteliChart's PatientPORTAL for patient engagement, Otto Health for telehealth, Phreesia for online bill payment, and RxLocal for pharmacy refills. Radiology is performed on-site three days a week, with higher-complexity tests routed via LabCorp, Asante, and Interpath under partnerships formalized in August 2025.

The business model is a hybrid payer mix typical of FQHCs. Revenue sources include federal Health and Human Services FQHC grant funding, Federal Tort Claims Act malpractice coverage as a deemed Public Health Service entity, reimbursement from Medicaid (Oregon Health Plan), Medicare, and private insurance, in-house pharmacy dispensing (which likely qualifies for 340B Drug Pricing Program savings), and a sliding fee discount program scaling charges to family size and income. Leadership comprises CEO Eric Van Houten (MSW, MBA), CMO Dr. Kristin Miller, COO Dawn Weber, and Chief Dental Officer/CAO Joe Dunn, supported by a community board of 14 directors. SCHC's competitive position rests on its regulatory designation, its multi-channel distribution, and 50+ years of community trust in a rural service area with limited alternative safety-net capacity.

Revenue model

1. Federally Qualified Health Center Reimbursement: As an FQHC, Siskiyou receives federal grant funding under the Health and Human Services program and participates in the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) coverage for malpractice. This provides a stable revenue base supporting operations for medically underserved populations.
2. Insurance Reimbursement: The health center bills and accepts private insurance, Medicaid (Oregon Health Plan), and Medicare. They are contracted with most health plans and submit claims as a courtesy to patients with complete insurance information.
3. Sliding Fee Discount Program: Fees are reduced based on family size and income for patients who qualify. Uninsured patients who do not qualify for the sliding discount program receive a 20% discount when paying at check-in. This ensures access for low-income patients while generating revenue.
4. Pharmacy Services: On-site pharmacies in Grants Pass and Cave Junction fill prescriptions for registered medical and dental patients, accepting most insurance plans including AllCare. Revenue generated from prescription dispensing and pharmacy services.
