Honor Community Health

What Honor Community Health does

Honor Community Health is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 2011 as the Oakland Integrated Healthcare Network (OIHN) and later rebranded under its current name, headquartered in Pontiac, Michigan. It is the largest FQHC in Oakland County, operating 19 locations including 9 medical/health centers, 9 school-based health sites plus a Children's Village site, the Joslyn Smile Center (a stand-alone six-chair dental facility), and the HonoRx on-site pharmacy. The organization provides integrated primary care, behavioral health, dental, maternal health, substance use treatment, family planning, telehealth via Doxy.me, school-based services, and a mobile Healthcare for the Homeless Program, serving nearly 20,000 unduplicated patients annually regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.

The organization is technically a community health delivery system rather than a software company; its primary technology stack is the Doxy.me telehealth platform for virtual visits, a web-based patient portal, and standard EHR/clinical infrastructure managed by a CIO with prior global managed-services experience. The organization is differentiated operationally by its ACGME-accredited Family Medicine Residency Program (Michigan's first FQHC Teaching Health Center, 2023), its PCMH certification, and its 501(c)(3) status, with a consumer-majority Board of Directors.

Revenue mechanics are characteristic of a safety-net provider: the majority of operating funds flow from Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and other healthcare reimbursements, supplemented by HRSA federal grants (grant #H80CS28354 under the Health Center Cluster, plus Teaching Health Center GME and a 2015 Healthcare for the Homeless grant), the Honor Cares sliding-fee program (some patients pay as little as $20 per visit), and charitable donations channeled through an annual fundraising gala and a Candid Platinum Seal-rated nonprofit structure.
