Borinquen Health Care Ctr

What Borinquen Health Care Ctr does

Borinquen Health Care Center, Inc. (operating as Borinquen Medical Centers) is a private, nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 1972 and headquartered at 3601 Federal Highway in Miami, Florida. The organization delivers a comprehensive range of health and social services to the culturally diverse population of Miami-Dade County, with particular focus on uninsured, underinsured, Spanish-speaking, and Haitian Creole-speaking residents. Care is delivered across 9+ brick-and-mortar clinic sites spanning Wynwood, Flagami, North Miami, West Dade/Sweetwater, and the Carrie Meek / Model City area, plus two mobile medical coaches deployed for community outreach and emergency response.

The core service platform is an integrated "medical home" model anchored on primary care and extended with pediatrics, OB/GYN, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, podiatry, chiropractic, neurology, HIV services, diagnostics/lab, and wellness offerings, all coordinated under NCQA Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition. Underlying technology consists of a third-party EHR/patient portal stack (athenahealth), Microsoft Office 365 for staff communications, ADP Workforce Now for HR/recruiting, Citrix via Health Choice Network for clinical app access, and a multi-channel emergency alerting system (phone, fax, SMS, walkie-talkie, runner, tablet) supporting disaster response per the articulation agreement with Jackson Health Systems. Federal accreditations include AAAHC Medical Home, CARF International Aspire to Excellence, and HRSA FSHCAA Deemed Health Center status providing Federal Tort Claims Act liability coverage under 42 U.S.C. § 233(g)-(n).

Revenue is generated through a mix of insurance reimbursement (Medicaid, Medipass, Medicare, HMO, commercial/private), HRSA Health Center Program grant funding under 42 U.S.C. § 254b, sliding-scale self-pay for low-income patients (forms available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole), Good Faith Estimates under the No Surprises Act, and limited fundraising outreach. Distribution is community-based and direct-to-consumer across the clinic network, with no reseller or franchise model, and HRSA Quality Improvement Awards — most recently the 2025 Health Center Quality Leader (Gold) and 2025 National Quality Leader designations in Behavioral Health and Cancer Screening — anchor the organization's quality narrative.

Direct peers

• Health Choice Network: Federally Qualified Health Center controlled network and shared-services organization of which Borinquen is a member (evidenced by the HCN Citrix storefront login). Provides shared IT, EHR, and back-office infrastructure to member FQHCs across Florida and beyond — a peer and infrastructure provider.
• Jessie Trice Community Health System: Miami-based Federally Qualified Health Center providing primary care, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services across multiple sites to underserved populations. Most directly comparable FQHC peer in the same Miami-Dade market with a similar multi-discipline medical-home model.
• Miami Beach Community Health Center: FQHC operating multiple sites across Miami-Dade and North Miami Beach, delivering primary, pediatric, OB/GYN, dental, and behavioral health services to uninsured/underinsured residents. Directly comparable on FQHC status, multi-site Miami-Dade footprint, and integrated service mix.
• Camillus Health Concern: Miami-based FQHC serving people experiencing homelessness and low-income residents with integrated primary care, behavioral health, and social services. Comparable FQHC peer with shared cultural/linguistic specialization for diverse Miami-Dade populations.
• Community Health Centers of Pinellas: Florida-based FQHC with multiple sites providing primary care, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy under a Patient-Centered Medical Home model. Comparable to Borinquen on FQHC structure, PCMH accreditation, multi-site delivery, and Florida geography.
• Citrus Health Network: Miami-Dade FQHC and community mental health center providing primary care, behavioral health, and substance-use services. Comparable to Borinquen on FQHC structure, behavioral-health emphasis (relevant given Borinquen's HRSA NQL Behavioral Health award), and Miami-Dade geography.

Broad incumbents

• Jackson Health System: Miami-Dade's public safety-net hospital system and Borinquen's articulation-agreement partner. Overlaps with Borinquen on serving uninsured/underinsured Miami-Dade residents but operates as a tertiary hospital system rather than a community-based FQHC.
• Memorial Healthcare System: Large South Florida public hospital system operating primary care and community health programs across Broward and southern Miami-Dade. Comparable on serving diverse, underserved South Florida populations but at substantially greater scale and as a hospital-led system rather than a community FQHC.
• ChenMed: Value-based primary care company operating dedicated senior medical centers across Florida (including Miami) under full-risk Medicare Advantage contracts. Comparable on Florida primary-care delivery and Miami-Dade presence, but differentiated by capitated commercial model versus Borinquen's grant-supported FQHC model.
• Cano Health: Miami-headquartered value-based primary care provider focused on Medicare Advantage and dual-eligible seniors across Florida. Comparable on Miami primary-care delivery and underserved populations, but differentiated by capitated commercial model rather than FQHC/grants.
