Redwood Community Health Coalition

What Redwood Community Health Coalition does

Redwood Community Health Coalition, operating under the legal name Aliados Health, is a California nonprofit healthcare coalition founded in 1994 and headquartered in Petaluma. It functions as an intermediary and capacity-building organization for a network of community health centers (predominantly Federally Qualified Health Centers) across six North Bay counties: Marin, Napa, Sonoma, Yolo, Contra Costa, and Solano. The organization delivers its services through approximately 27 named staff and a coalition model in which certified enrollment counselors, community health workers, and program coordinators are embedded in or affiliated with partner health centers and mobile clinics.

The core product suite is service-oriented rather than a single software platform: (1) free, confidential enrollment counseling for Medi-Cal, Covered California, and CalFresh benefits; (2) health informatics and population health data analytics support for member centers, including a HRSA-funded Health Center Controlled Network; (3) quality improvement, peer collaboration, and the QI Chat Room Podcast; (4) the Aliados Health Analytics Academy workforce training program; (5) community health worker, remote patient monitoring, and Medicare care management enablement; and (6) policy advocacy and emergency preparedness coordination. The underlying technology layer comprises shared health IT infrastructure, governance frameworks, and analytics tooling deployed across member centers, with active exploration (as of 2021) of cross-center EMR consolidation.

The business model is that of a grant- and contract-funded nonprofit: there is no end-user pricing, all enrollment services are provided at no cost, and revenue is derived from federal grants (HRSA, CMS), state program funding (California DHCS), county public health contracts across five counties, and philanthropic grants from healthcare foundations including Kaiser Permanente, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, California Endowment, California Health Foundation, and Wellbeing Trust. Customer segments are bifurcated — uninsured and underinsured individuals on one side, and member FQHCs plus county public health agencies on the other — making the organization effectively a two-sided platform whose financial sustainability is anchored to a relatively concentrated set of federal and state funders.
