Cabin Creek Health Systems

What Cabin Creek Health Systems does

Cabin Creek Health Systems (CCHS) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Dawes, West Virginia, that has operated a county-wide safety-net primary care network across Kanawha County since its 1974 founding as a clinic serving coal miners. The organization runs seven primary care clinic locations (Cabin Creek/Dawes, Clendenin, Kanawha City, Riverside, Sissonville, Westside, and Sunnyside), four on-site pharmacies, seven school-based health centers, the Grace Anne Dorney Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center, and a mobile health clinic launched in 2021 that serves homeless and extreme-poverty populations. Service lines span primary care, behavioral health, dental, pediatric and adolescent care, women's health, Black Lung testing for occupational lung disease, pulmonary rehabilitation, and the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Program (CARP) for medication-assisted treatment.

CCHS operates under the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model with electronic health records integrated across all clinical sites, an athenahealth-powered patient portal providing 24/7 access for messaging, scheduling, prescription refills (integrated with RxLocal), billing, test results, and care summaries, and multifactor authentication for HIPAA compliance. By 2025 the organization had earned NCQA PCMH Recognition at five locations, Target: BP Gold+ recognition from the AHA/AMA at four sites (≥70% blood pressure control rates), and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Gold recognition from the AHA at five sites for HbA1c control, evidencing system-wide commitment to evidence-based chronic disease outcomes. The mobile clinic extends the same clinical menu — acute and primary care, COVID-19 testing/vaccination, infectious disease confirmatory testing, and point-of-care PrEP — into shelters, warming centers, encampments, and assisted living facilities.

The revenue model is hybrid: billable clinical services across primary care, behavioral health, dental, pharmacy, and pulmonary rehabilitation; federal FQHC funding under the HHS Health Center Program (including a $1,940,565.90 West Virginia AHEC program grant, U77HP16458); 340B Drug Pricing Program participation enabling sub-minimum-price prescription purchasing with savings passed to patients; and a sliding fee discount program ensuring no patient is turned away for inability to pay. CCHS accepts all major payors including Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, WV PEIA, Oxford, Care Improvement Plus, and CareSource. The payer mix, mission mandate, and county-level geographic concentration position CCHS as a community-anchored nonprofit whose expansion strategy is driven by service intensity, facility footprint, and quality-outcome capture rather than market-share gain, and which is unlikely to suit a traditional PE or VC investment thesis.

Revenue model

1. Clinical Services Revenue: CCHS generates revenue through providing billable clinical services across primary care, behavioral health, dental, pharmacy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and other health services. The organization accepts all major payors including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, WV PEIA, Oxford, Care Improvement Plus, CareSource).
2. 340B Pharmacy Program: CCHS Pharmacies participate in the 340B Program, allowing purchase of prescription medicine at below-standard-minimum prices with savings passed on to patients. This supports revenue generation while reducing medication costs for the patient population.
3. Sliding Fee Discount Program: Discount program available to uninsured and insured patients meeting household income guidelines. The sliding fee covers the portion of service charges not covered by insurance for which the patient would normally be responsible. Reference lab fees are waived for eligible patients.
4. Government Funding (FQHC): As a Federally Qualified Health Center, CCHS receives HHS funding and has Federal Public Health Service deemed status. The West Virginia AHEC program grant (U77HP16458) contributes $1,940,565.90 total program cost.

Regional players
