Shenandoah Community Health

What Shenandoah Community Health does

Shenandoah Community Health (legal entity: Shenandoah Valley Medical System, Inc.) is a private, nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 1976 and headquartered in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Operating under a Patient Centered Medical Home model with NCQA recognition, SCH delivers comprehensive adult and pediatric primary care, women's health (including AIUM-accredited obstetric/gynecologic ultrasound), behavioral health with substance use treatment, oral health through the Healthy Smiles Community Oral Health Center, and on-site pharmacy services at fixed locations across West Virginia and Virginia. The organization also runs the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (Parts C and A), WIC Nutrition Services across five WV counties, HealthEXPRESS walk-in clinics, and a mobile health unit serving 8+ schools in Berkeley County, plus Special Populations outreach to 28 migrant camps and 7 homeless sites spanning WV, VA, and MD.

The technology stack is anchored on the Patient Centered Medical Home model with NCQA certification, the AthenaHealth patient portal (web and mobile) and NextMD for secure messaging, integrated pharmacy and 340B Drug Pricing Program operations, Press Ganey for patient satisfaction measurement, Stratus for multilingual interpretation (15+ languages), and ADP Workforce Now for HR. Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining insurance reimbursements (commercial, Medicaid, Medicare), 340B discounted drug pricing economics, a sliding fee discount program for income-qualified patients, Ryan White federal grant funding for HIV care, and WIC program allocations — there are no venture capital, private equity, or public market investors. With close to 300 clinicians and support staff, a 10-member community-representative Board of Directors, and a separately incorporated 501(c)(3) Shenandoah Community Health Foundation supporting fundraising and capital needs, SCH operates as a mission-driven community institution rather than a growth-stage commercial enterprise.
