UHPhealth

What UHPhealth does

UHPhealth (legal name United Health Partners; formerly operating as United Health Partners) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable healthcare organization founded in 2015 by Bernice Koko and headquartered in Houston, Texas. The organization operates two fixed safety-net clinic sites — a West Clinic at 6846 Antoine Drive and an East/Behavioral Health location at 12605 East Freeway — plus a Wellness Center at 110 Rockleigh Place, a Northwest Houston Clinic inside the White Oak Bayou Shopping Center, a Chambers County clinic, and mobile vaccination units that bring services to schools and community events. Service delivery mixes walk-in medical care (consultations, immunizations, cancer screening, diabetes/hypertension management, school physicals, laboratory testing, women's health) with a comprehensive behavioral health program (counseling, adult and child/adolescent therapy, psychiatric evaluation, intensive outpatient program, anger management, parenting classes, psychological testing), supplemented by IV therapy, telehealth visits, case management for benefit navigation, and notary services. International reach is pursued through a UHPhealth International program supporting rural clinics in developing countries.

The business model is donation- and grant-funded rather than a commercial transaction model. Revenue streams include direct sliding-scale patient fees for clinical services (including $40/session parenting classes and an 18-week anger management program at $40/person), recurring $75/month Sponsor A Child sponsorships, and grants from a small set of funders — primarily St. John the Divine and St. Martin Episcopal Churches, United Way, the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, Heart to Heart International, Direct Relief, Americares, CVS Health, and individual donors. The organization discloses no government funding. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: UHPhealth reaches patients through in-clinic walk-ins, telehealth, school nurse and church partnerships, community health fairs, back-to-school events, and mobile units, supported by Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram organic social channels. Operationally, the organization runs with a lean team of seven staff reaching 2,500+ clients annually and is a member of NAFCC and the Texas Association of Charitable Clinics.
