Community Health of South Florida

What Community Health of South Florida does

Community Health of South Florida, Inc. (CHI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1971, operating 13 fixed health centers across Miami-Dade and Monroe counties plus two mobile medical units. It serves approximately 75,000 unique patients annually with a staff of roughly 700 employees, including 100+ providers, delivering a comprehensive suite of 30+ services spanning primary care, pediatrics, behavioral health, women's health, dental, vision, urgent care, pharmacy, imaging, laboratory, telehealth, and remote patient monitoring. CHI also operates school-based health services at 283 schools in partnership with The Children's Trust, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and the Florida Department of Health.

The underlying technology stack comprises an electronic health record (EHR) system linked to a MyChart patient portal, a CHI-branded mobile app, telehealth platforms, Remote Patient Monitoring for chronic disease management, an eConsult Program that electronically connects CHI patients with national specialists, and a 340B Pharmacy Program that enables $4 prescriptions. The Brodes H. Hartley Jr. Teaching Health Center, a wholly owned subsidiary, runs family medicine and psychiatry residency programs, creating an internal clinical training pipeline.

CHI's business model combines multiple revenue streams: fee-for-service billing to Medicaid, Medicare (including through an Accountable Care Organization), commercial insurers, and self-pay patients on a sliding fee scale; federal HRSA grant funding as a federally qualified health center; state and county program contracts (notably The Children's Trust's $25.8M annual HealthConnect in Our Schools initiative, shared with five other contracted agencies); and foundation/corporate philanthropy routed through the CHI Foundation subsidiary. Patient acquisition is omnichannel and community-driven — fixed sites, mobile units, school-based clinics, telehealth, community events, earned media, and partnerships with organizations such as the American Dental Association, Miami Heat, Direct Relief, and Health Foundation of South Florida.
