Family Tree Clinic

What Family Tree Clinic does

Family Tree Clinic (legal entity: Family Tree, Inc., EIN 23-7133742) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community clinic founded in 1971 and headquartered at 1919 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, serving the Twin Cities metropolitan area. It delivers comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care, including birth control, STI testing and treatment, PrEP, annual exams, pregnancy testing with all-options counseling, and gender-affirming hormone therapy under an informed consent model for patients 13 and older. The clinic's community education department extends its reach beyond direct care, delivering medically accurate sex education presentations in K-12 schools and community settings, training peer educators through the KiSS program, and hosting the LGBTQ+ Youth Drop-in in partnership with Avenues for Youth.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional, third-party-assembled clinical and marketing toolkit rather than a proprietary platform. Clinical operations run on the NextGen patient portal (EHR access, lab results, scheduling, billing), with telehealth delivered through the Doxy.me browser-based video platform requiring only a 2 Mb/s connection. Patient intake forms (including demographic, health history, telehealth consent, and trans hormone care intake forms) are built in JotForm, with HIPAA-compliant handling. Marketing and donor operations use Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, GiveMN, and Facebook Fundraisers. The clinic has codified and exports its trans hormone care protocol through the Midwest Trans Health Education Network (MTHEN), training external providers regionally with CME accreditation via the Minnesota Medical Association.

Revenue is mission-driven and diversified across four streams: patient payments on a sliding fee scale (25-100% of actual cost based on income, with payment plans), insurance billing (Medical Assistance, Minnesota Care, and most major private plans), state-funded reimbursements via the Minnesota Family Planning Program for residents at or below 200% of federal poverty guidelines, and charitable contributions (Evergreen monthly giving, employer matching, stock gifts, IRA QCDs, planned giving, and grants including a Bush Foundation community innovation grant for MTHEN). The clinic is privately held as a 501(c)(3) with no parent company, no equity investors, and community-based governance; the 11-50 employee organization is currently hiring to scale capacity.
