Southeast Healthcare

What Southeast Healthcare does

Southeast Healthcare is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) integrated healthcare provider founded in 1978 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The organization delivers a unified care stack spanning behavioral health (including mental health, substance use treatment, and Medication-Assisted Treatment), primary care (as a Federally Qualified Health Center), dental, pharmacy (via its in-house Apothecare pharmacy), homeless services (including a 130-bed men's shelter and PATH outreach), residential treatment (Redmond House, Carpenter House, Four Oaks), vocational services, and crisis response (RREACT team embedded with Columbus Division of Fire). It operates across eight Ohio counties — Belmont, Carroll, Delaware, Franklin, Harrison, Monroe, Morrow, and Tuscarawas — through a network of outpatient clinics, residential facilities, and a mobile healthcare coach, serving roughly 3,000 behavioral health patients and 1,600+ homeless services clients annually regardless of ability to pay.

The underlying technology is conventional healthcare IT rather than proprietary: the organization runs on NextGen for electronic medical records and the patient portal, Paycom for HR and recruiting, and applies a Primary Care Medical Home model with evidence-based clinical practices (CBT, DBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing). Southeast is Joint Commission accredited (Ambulatory and Behavioral Health Care), PCMH certified, FQHC-designated, CCBHC-certified, and licensed by OhioMHAS. Four acquired subsidiaries — Cornerstone Support Services (2005), Friends of the Homeless (2006), Community Mental Health Services (2009), and Center of Vocational Alternatives/COVA (2014) — provide the operational footprint for multi-county service delivery.

The business model is grant- and reimbursement-funded, not commercial. Revenue sources are SAMHSA and HRSA federal grants (including the 2024 CCBHC IA four-year grant and 2021 CCBHC Expansion grant), HRSA Healthcare for the Homeless funding, OhioMHAS pass-through funding, county mental health/recovery boards (ADAMH Franklin, Belmont/Harrison/Monroe, Delaware-Morrow, Tuscarawas/Carroll), the Community Shelter Board, Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements, sliding-fee-scale patient payments, and individual tax-deductible donations. Pricing is hybrid: insurance-based billing for Medicaid/Medicare/private plans and a sliding fee scale based on income and family size for uninsured patients. Customer acquisition is community-led through walk-in intake, central scheduling, mobile outreach, and referral partnerships with NAMI Franklin County and findhelp.org. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and led by President and CEO Bill Lee, CFO Charles Tong (joined May 2025), COO Wendy Williams, Medical Director Abul Hasan, and Chief Human Resources Officer Melissa Miller.

• Netcare Access: Central Ohio behavioral health crisis services provider offering 24/7 crisis intervention, mental health, and addiction services — directly comparable to Southeast's crisis and behavioral health programming.
• Community Health Centers of Greater Dayton: Ohio-based Federally Qualified Health Center delivering integrated primary care, behavioral health, and pharmacy services to underserved populations — directly comparable as an FQHC peer in Ohio.
• AxessPointe Community Health Centers: Northeast Ohio FQHC providing integrated primary care, behavioral health, dental, and pharmacy services regardless of ability to pay — comparable FQHC model and patient base, though serving a different Ohio region.
• Talbert House: Cincinnati-based non-profit providing behavioral health, substance use treatment, housing, and vocational services across Ohio — directly comparable as a multi-service Ohio behavioral health and social services non-profit.
• Neighborhood Health Association of Toledo: Toledo, Ohio FQHC providing primary care, behavioral health, dental, and homeless services to underserved populations — directly comparable FQHC operating model and integrated service suite.

Broad incumbents

• Mount Carmel Health System: Large central Ohio health system offering primary care, behavioral health, and social work services — overlapping with Southeast's integrated care mission but as part of a much broader hospital portfolio rather than a focused FQHC.
• OhioHealth: Major Ohio non-profit health system delivering a broad range of inpatient, outpatient, and community health services across central Ohio — comparable on integrated care delivery and footprint, but not a focused FQHC/CCBHC.

Emerging players

• Centerstone: National non-profit behavioral health provider offering mental health, addiction, and supportive housing services across multiple states — comparable as a scaled integrated behavioral health non-profit, though broader geographically and less FQHC-tilted.

Others

• National Health Care for the Homeless Council: National advocacy and training organization supporting HRSA-funded Health Care for the Homeless grantees — comparable as an ecosystem enabler for Southeast's homeless services line and a reference point for its HRSA grant strategy.
