Agape Network

What Agape Network does

Agape Network is a nonprofit, faith-based community health center founded in 1984 in Miami-Dade County, Florida, operating as a nationally accredited integrated behavioral health and primary care system. The organization delivers a unified care platform spanning residential treatment (a 110-bed facility serving women 18+ with substance use disorders, mental illness, and co-occurring conditions), the Mommy & Me mother-child reunification program, outpatient behavioral and primary care, criminal justice reentry services, supported housing, chaplaincy, workforce development, and an early learning daycare center for children of clients in treatment. Agape serves approximately 1,500 individuals and families weekly across Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties with a goal of reaching 2,500 monthly clients, supported by 200+ clinical and administrative staff operating from a six-acre, 80,000 sq. ft. main campus that opened February 2024 alongside multiple outpatient sites.

The organization's underlying technology stack centers on population health technology deployed through its partnership with Health Choice Network, enabling care coordination, high-risk patient identification, predictive analytics for proactive interventions, and care gap closure. Telehealth and remote patient monitoring capabilities reduce treatment nonadherence, and a patient portal (app.agapenet.org) provides digital access for existing clients. The organization holds CARF accreditation, a CCBHC-PDI SAMHSA federal grant, and FQHC-equivalent designation, and integrates with Health Choice Network's enterprise platforms for population health management.

Agape's revenue model is a hybrid nonprofit structure combining fee-for-service healthcare delivery funded through Medicaid and managed care organizations, government grants (including the SAMHSA CCBHC-PDI grant and Florida Department of Children and Families contracts routed through managing entity Thriving Mind South Florida), and charitable donations. Distribution is regional and direct, with referrals generated through an embedded network spanning the 11th Judicial Circuit, U.S. District Court, Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department, Public Defender's Office, Jackson Memorial Hospital, Baptist Health South Florida, Larkin Health System, and Miami-Dade Public Schools. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by William W. White, D.Min., with a separate Agape Network Foundation Board chaired by Willy Bermello handling fundraising.

Direct peers

• Banyan Health Systems: Florida nonprofit providing integrated behavioral health, primary care, and addiction treatment across multiple South Florida locations. Comparable as a behavioral health and primary care integration provider serving similar populations.
• New Horizons Community Mental Health Center: South Florida community mental health center referenced multiple times in Agape's leadership bios (former CEO and Medical Director previously served there). Directly comparable as a Miami-Dade behavioral health provider with overlapping outpatient, residential, and reentry service lines.
• Henderson Behavioral Health: Florida-based behavioral health provider cited in Agape's program director background. Comparable outpatient mental health, substance use, case management, and crisis services serving similar vulnerable populations in South Florida.
• Citrus Health Network: Miami-Dade FQHC providing integrated primary care, behavioral health, and substance use services through outpatient and residential programs. Directly comparable as a community health center with a safety-net population focus in the same geography.
• Camillus Health Concern: Miami-based FQHC delivering integrated primary and behavioral health care to underserved populations. Comparable model as a community health center providing whole-person care in Miami-Dade County.

Broad incumbents

• Jackson Health System: Major Miami-Dade public hospital system listed as a core strategic partner. Operates Jackson Behavioral Health and provides psychiatric training to Agape's CMO, but competes on the broader integrated care and FQHC-adjacent territory.
• Baptist Health South Florida: Large regional health system listed as a core partner. Provides integrated care coordination and referral pathways but as part of a much broader hospital portfolio rather than specializing in community behavioral health.
• Larkin Community Hospital: South Florida hospital system where Agape's CMO previously chaired the psychiatry residency. Comparable behavioral health presence with training pipelines but broader acute-care service portfolio rather than Agape's residential and community specialization.
• Memorial Healthcare System: Large South Florida health system providing behavioral health, primary care, and community-based services across Broward and Miami-Dade. Adjacent competitor in the integrated community health space though focused more on acute care delivery than Agape's specialty residential niche.

Emerging players

• Health Choice Network: National FQHC collaborative and technology partner of Agape providing population health platforms, enterprise applications, and care coordination infrastructure. Comparable network of community health centers sharing technology and best practices, including some overlapping leadership.
