HealthCore Clinic

What HealthCore Clinic does

HealthCore Clinic is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and 501(c)(3) nonprofit community health center headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, founded in 1998 (originally as The Center for Health and Wellness). It operates an integrated care model that delivers medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services under one roof, supported by team-based collaboration across disciplines and the eClinicalWorks (ECW) electronic health record system with the healow patient portal and online scheduling platform. The clinic serves a predominantly uninsured and underinsured patient population in Wichita and Sedgwick County, including women, children, individuals with mental health and substance abuse needs, and residents of the 29th and Grove groundwater contamination area who receive free Clearway Testing health screenings. Service breadth spans primary and preventive medical care, comprehensive dental services, behavioral health and substance abuse treatment including medication-assisted treatment, prenatal care with certified nurse-midwives, pediatric care, chronic disease management (HIV/PrEP, hepatitis C, diabetes, hypertension), and free COVID-19 vaccination.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across five streams: insurance fee-for-service reimbursements (KanCare/Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and private insurance), sliding scale self-pay fees based on federal poverty guidelines, on-site pharmacy dispensing with 340B federal drug pricing discounts, federal FQHC grants under 42 U.S.C. 254b with FTCA deemed malpractice coverage, and charitable donations through a 501(c)(3) giving program. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via walk-in appointments, online scheduling through healow, phone requests, and the patient portal, supplemented by an integrated mobile clinic visiting community sites such as Second Light Shelter and a robust community outreach program including Baby Talk prenatal classes, healthy babies classes, fresh produce giveaways, and the Summer Fun Fridays pediatric wellness program. The clinic has held FQHC status since 2006, achieved Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition, earned HRSA badges in 2024-2025, and completed a major facility expansion in 2016. Headcount is in the 101-250 employee range and the clinic has operated continuously since 1998, maintaining 100% employee retention during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue model

1. Patient Service Revenue (Insured): HealthCore Clinic accepts KanCare/Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and private insurance for patient services. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service reimbursement from insured patient visits across medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy.

3. Pharmacy Services & 340B Program: The on-site pharmacy at HealthCore generates revenue through prescription dispensing. Through the federal 340B discount medication program, qualifying patients receive reduced-cost medications, and the clinic benefits from the pricing differential on covered patients.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Walmart Health: Retail-clinic primary care concept offering integrated medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services at scale within Walmart stores. Broader-incumbent comparable on the integrated multi-service clinic model, though with national retail scale HealthCore lacks.
• Oak Street Health (CVS Health): Value-based primary care provider owned by CVS Health serving Medicare and dual-eligible populations with integrated medical, behavioral, and pharmacy services. Larger-scale analog of HealthCore's mission-driven integrated care model for underserved populations.

Others

• KU School of Medicine – Wichita: Academic medical partner of HealthCore, providing Baby Talk and Healthy Babies prenatal education and supporting Wesley Family Medicine residents in prenatal rotations. Not a competitor but a core clinical pipeline and training partner.
• Sunflower Health Plan: Medicaid managed care organization serving KanCare (Kansas Medicaid) members across the state. Not a direct competitor but a key payer/counterparty that reimburses HealthCore for insured patients and shapes Medicaid-dependent revenue.

Direct peers

• EC Tyree Health & Dental Clinic: Federally Qualified Health Center serving Wichita's northeast and surrounding communities with medical, behavioral, and dental care. Directly comparable FQHC peer; HealthCore dentist Maya Nunley previously practiced at EC Tyree for 8 years before joining HealthCore.
• Atchison Community Health Clinic: FQHC in Atchison, Kansas providing medical, dental, and behavioral health services on a sliding-fee scale. Same Kansas FQHC peer category with comparable integrated services for underserved populations.
• Hunter Health Clinic: Long-standing FQHC in Wichita providing medical, dental, and behavioral health services to uninsured and underinsured populations on a sliding scale. Direct competitor to HealthCore in the same Wichita/Sedgwick County service area with comparable integrated FQHC model.
• CentroMed: Federally Qualified Health Center network in Texas delivering integrated medical, dental, behavioral health, and 340B pharmacy services to uninsured and underinsured populations. Closest comparable large multi-site FQHC operating model to HealthCore's integrated approach.
• GraceMed Health Clinic: Federally Qualified Health Center serving Wichita and surrounding areas with integrated medical, dental, and behavioral health services on a sliding-fee scale. Named HealthCore partner during COVID-19 vaccine access efforts, indicating direct overlap in mission, geography, and patient base.

Regional players

• Sedgwick County Health Department: Local public health agency serving Wichita/Sedgwick County with immunizations, WIC, family planning, and communicable disease services.
