What St. Thomas Hospital and Anaheim Medical Centers Group does

St. Thomas Health Care is a privately held, multi-site healthcare services operator headquartered at 700 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles, California, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Howard Global Holdings, a diversified private holding company. Founded in 2000 by Dr. Robert Howard and Dr. Lowe after decades of ER experience, the company runs 50+ walk-in medical centers across the United States open 7am–10pm daily with no-appointment access, serving approximately 25,000 patients per day. It treats roughly 14% of all U.S. work-related injuries (one in every eight injured Americans in the workforce) and operates 300+ worksite health clinics embedded in employer facilities.

The company's product surface spans urgent care, occupational medicine (drug testing, DOT physicals, injury treatment, pre-placement services, workers' compensation case management), physical and occupational therapy with early-intervention protocols, primary care with dedicated care coordinators, telemedicine via video and mobile platforms, travel health services, corporate wellness programs (biometric screenings, health coaching, risk assessments), and a network of 370+ specialists across 14 specialties. Technology assets include the patented Howard Health Care Engine System (clinical decision support, U.S. patent granted 1996), a health coaching management platform, an electronic home exercise program with 3D animations, and the Medical ReviewStream peer review service for utilization and pharmacy reviews. The organization holds HIPAA-aligned privacy practices and applies NCQA-based credentialing standards across its specialist network.

Revenue is generated through a mix of models: fee-for-service billing for walk-in urgent care encounters, subscription / per-employee-per-month and fixed-fee contracts for the 300+ worksite clinics, insurance and workers' compensation billing for physical therapy, and custom employer contracts for occupational health and wellness programming. The primary customer base is split between enterprise employers (occupational health and worksite clinic contracts) and individual consumers (walk-in urgent care and primary care), with secondary exposure to transportation employers (DOT compliance) and to parents needing pediatric services. The company does not disclose standalone revenue, but is part of Howard Global Holdings, which reports over $1 billion in combined annual revenues across its healthcare, hospitality, technology, and investment assets. The company's website currently notes a pending ownership transition and content update, an indicator of active corporate change.
