Ravenswood Family Health Center

What Ravenswood Family Health Center does

Ravenswood Family Health Center (legal name: Ravenswood Family Health Network) is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in East Palo Alto, California. It delivers integrated primary and preventive healthcare under a whole-person, patient-centered model to low-income and uninsured residents of East Palo Alto and surrounding communities in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. Services span primary medical care, dental, optometry, podiatry, social services, immunization, chiropractic care, diagnostic imaging, lab, and an on-site pharmacy, all delivered in five clinic locations that include the headquarters site, a dental site, and three MayView-branded clinics acquired in 2020 in Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and Palo Alto.

The operating stack is deliberately non-proprietary: patient engagement and clinical documentation run on the Epic MyChart platform provided through OCHIN, the FQHC-focused EHR hosting service. Multilingual service delivery (English, Spanish, Tongan, and Simplified Chinese), NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition, FTCA-deemed facility status, and the AMA Target BP Badge 2025 frame the clinical and regulatory backbone. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-patient across the five sites, with no telehealth commerce, no app layer, and no third-party distribution.

The revenue model blends three streams: patient service revenue from Medi-Cal, Medicare, private insurance, and sliding-scale uninsured fees (with FQHC-enhanced PPS reimbursement), federal FQHC grant funding under Section 330, and tax-deductible donations from individuals and organizations. Community-led go-to-market is executed through a dedicated Eligibility and Enrollment Department, a 2024-25 annual report campaign, a Spring 2026 newsletter and direct mail motion, social media presence, and SurveyMonkey-based patient satisfaction surveys. GTM motion: community_led.
