Central Florida Health Care

What Central Florida Health Care does

Central Florida Health Care, Inc. (CFHC) is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1972 and headquartered at 47 5th St NW, Winter Haven, Florida. The organization operates 18 clinical sites across Polk, Highlands, and Hardee counties in Central Florida, delivering comprehensive primary and preventive healthcare through a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model. Service lines span adult primary care (including chronic care and men's health), pediatric primary care, behavioral health (including integrated behavioral health and group therapy), adult and pediatric dental, OB/GYN, pharmacy with mail-order and delivery, specialty pharmacy, optometry, dermatology, endocrinology, HIV & HEP C treatment, nutritional counseling/diabetes education, podiatry, rheumatology, and social services.

Technology is centered on the athenahealth electronic health record and patient portal, which enables established patients to self-schedule, view records, and manage care online. CFHC holds Joint Commission Accreditation and Primary Care Medical Home certification, is a Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) Deemed Facility with Federal PHS deemed status, participates in the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program as a designated site, and is supported by HHS/HRSA Section 330 funding. Revenue is generated through insurance billing, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement under the FQHC Prospective Payment System, HHS federal funding, patient payments, and a sliding fee scale for uninsured and self-paying patients based on income and family size.

CFHC's go-to-market is community-led: new patients are onboarded via phone intake (866-234-8534), and growth is driven through community partnerships (notably with the National Center for Farmworker Health for agricultural-worker outreach), social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), community events (breast-cancer-awareness golf tournament, Classy & Comfy Gala), and word-of-mouth. Beyond clinical services, CFHC operates the CFHC Feeding Hearts food-distribution program in partnership with United Way of Central Florida, Feeding Tampa Bay, the George W. Jenkins End Hunger Initiative, and Freedom Tours across 10 distribution sites, extending the organization's role into social determinants of health for the underserved communities of Central Florida.

Direct peers

• Tampa Family Health Centers: A large Florida-based FQHC operating multiple primary care, dental, and behavioral health sites in the Tampa Bay region. Directly comparable as a multi-site, non-profit FQHC serving a mixed insured/underserved patient population in Florida.
• Broward Community & Family Health Centers: Florida-based FQHC providing comprehensive primary care, pediatrics, dental, OB/GYN, and pharmacy services to underserved populations. Closely mirrors CFHC's medical-home model, service portfolio, and sliding-fee scale offering.
• Florida Community Health Centers (FCHC): Federally Qualified Health Center operating across multiple Florida counties with primary care, dental, pharmacy, and migrant health programs. Highly comparable service mix, payer mix, and FQHC operating model to CFHC.
• Premier Community HealthCare: Florida-based FQHC delivering primary care, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services across Pasco and Hernando counties. Directly comparable community health center model serving underserved populations in Central-West Florida.

Broad incumbents

• ChenMed: Investor-backed value-based primary care group serving low-to-moderate-income seniors via dedicated centers. Comparable primary care model with risk-bearing arrangements, though focused on senior Medicare Advantage rather than the full FQHC mission.
• Oak Street Health (CVS Health): Value-based primary care provider focused on Medicare-eligible adults, now part of CVS Health. Overlaps with CFHC's primary care mission for complex, often dual-eligible populations and its willingness to bear risk for total cost of care.
• Cano Health: Value-based primary care company serving seniors, predominantly Medicare Advantage members, with strong Florida presence. Comparable in serving dual-eligible and underserved populations through capitated primary care, though operates a for-profit platform.
• CenterWell Senior Primary Care (Humana): Humana-owned senior-focused primary care network providing value-based care to Medicare Advantage members. Comparable as a scaled, integrated primary care provider with pharmacy and care-management capabilities, though focused on seniors and commercially aligned with Humana.

Others

• National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC): National membership organization representing FQHCs and Look-Alikes. Relevant as the industry body that advocates for FQHC funding, 340B policy, and operating standards on which CFHC's business model depends.
