La Red Health Center

What La Red Health Center does

La Red Health Center is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2001 that delivers integrated medical, mental health, and dental services across Sussex County, Delaware. It operates three fixed clinic locations (Georgetown headquarters, Seaford, Milford) plus a Mobile Health Unit, and serves more than 15,000 patients annually, of whom approximately 35% are uninsured. The organization holds FTC HRSA FSHCAA deemed status providing Federal Tort Claims Act malpractice coverage and NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition, and was recognized as a 2025 HCP National Quality Leader for Cancer Screening.

The core product platform spans eight clinical service lines (Primary Care, Pediatrics, Women's Health/Prenatal, Behavioral Health, Substance Use Disorder Treatment with MOUD, Dental/Oral Health, 340B Discount Pharmacy, Chronic Disease Management) augmented by outreach modules including the 23+ year Promotora Program, Mobile Health Unit, Homeless Connection to Care, Rural Re-entry program, Delaware WIC, Produce RX, and workplace wellness. Technology infrastructure consists of a FollowMyHealth patient portal, EHR, telehealth capabilities, and integrations with the Delaware Health Information Network, LabCorp, and PayMyDoctor billing, supporting a community-led go-to-market via bilingual community health workers, partner referrals, and community events.

La Red's revenue model blends fee-for-service patient revenue (Medicare, Medicaid managed care, commercial insurance, and a sliding fee scale ranging from $30 nominal fees up to full charges based on federal income guidelines), federal FQHC grant funding through HRSA, savings reinvestment from the 340B pharmacy program, and charitable contributions/sponsorships (corporate tiers from $1,783 Bronze to $25,000 Presenting Sponsor). Distribution relies on direct service delivery through its fixed and mobile clinics plus referral pipelines from hospital systems (Bayhealth, Beebe, TidalHealth Nanticoke), state agencies, and community organizations.
