Choice Health Care Network

What Choice Health Care Network does

Choice Health Care Network, LLC is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) network founded in 1967 as Southside Medical Center in Atlanta, Georgia. It operates 20 clinical sites across seven metro Atlanta counties (Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Douglas, Gwinnett, Clayton, and Butts), delivered through four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Southside Medical Center, The Family Health Centers of Georgia, Four Corners Primary Care Center, and Morehouse Healthcare Associates. Three of the sites are school-based health centers not open to the public.

The network provides integrated primary, specialty, and ancillary care under a Patient CHOICE Medical Home (PCMH) model that assigns each patient a dedicated personal physician and wellness team with 24-hour access and same-day appointments. Service lines include Internal Medicine, Family Practice, Pediatrics, Women's Health/OB-GYN, Dental, Podiatry, Cardiology, Optometry, Mental Health, Substance Abuse (including methadone maintenance), and Surgery consultations, supported by on-site laboratory, x-ray, and pharmacy at each location. The substance abuse program holds Joint Commission, CARF, and NOCA accreditations.

Revenue is generated through patient services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay on a sliding-fee scale based on household income and size, with reduced-cost prescription fulfillment through on-site pharmacies. The network participates as a Medicare Accountable Care Organization (ACO), participating in coordinated care for Medicare beneficiaries. Patient acquisition relies on community outreach, partnerships, referrals, and word-of-mouth rather than paid marketing. The technology stack is operational rather than productized — no proprietary platforms, AI, or APIs are disclosed. Leadership comprises a physician-led executive team including President David Williams, MD and CFO Claudio Azzariti, MBA/CPA.

Broad incumbents

• Wellstar Health System: Large non-profit Georgia health system with hospitals, urgent care, and physician practices throughout metro Atlanta. Comparable as a regional safety-net-adjacent operator but with much broader service mix and inpatient capabilities.
• Piedmont Healthcare: Large Atlanta-based non-profit health system operating hospitals and physician practices across metro Atlanta. Competes with Choice Health Care for primary care patients with commercial insurance, but operates a much broader portfolio including inpatient services.

Direct peers

• Mercy Care: Atlanta-based FQHC network serving uninsured and underinsured populations with primary care, behavioral health, and pharmacy services. Direct peer given same FQHC designation, similar Atlanta footprint, and mission-aligned population.
• Whitefoord Community Health Center: Atlanta-based FQHC providing primary care, pediatrics, dental, and behavioral health to underserved communities. Directly comparable as a metro Atlanta FQHC competing for overlapping patient populations.
• Good Samaritan Health Center: Atlanta-based charitable clinic and FQHC Look-Alike serving uninsured and underinsured populations with primary care, dental, and specialty services. Comparable as a mission-aligned Atlanta community health provider with sliding fee scale operations.

• Oak Street Health: Value-based primary care network acquired by CVS Health serving Medicare-eligible seniors with integrated primary care, behavioral health, and pharmacy. Comparable in FQHC-adjacent value-based primary care positioning but operates exclusively in Medicare Advantage markets.

Others
