CenterPlace Health

What CenterPlace Health does

CenterPlace Health is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and community-based not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that transitioned from a public entity co-applicant arrangement with the Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County on May 2, 2016. The organization serves as Sarasota County's safety-net healthcare provider, delivering primary care, behavioral health, pediatrics, women's health, dental care (for children), on-site lab, discount pharmacy, and sports physical services through four physical clinic locations (North Port Health Center, Ringling/W.L. Little Health Center, Sarasota Adult Clinic, and Women and Children's Health Center) plus telehealth for primary care and behavioral health. It serves over 28,000 patients annually as a vertically integrated primary care provider.

The technology stack is built around the Athena Health patient portal for electronic health records and patient access, with no proprietary technology disclosed; the organization relies on third-party integration with Athena Health (at 16972.portal.athenahealth.com) for digital patient interaction. CenterPlace Health is an FTCA-deemed facility, which provides federal professional liability coverage through Federal Tort Claims Act enrollment, and holds HRSA recognition as an FQHC plus Candid (GuideStar) Platinum Transparency 2023 status.

The revenue model is hybrid: approximately 60% from operations (patient services billed through Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid Replacement Plans, most private insurances, and self-pay on a sliding fee scale) and approximately 40% from government grants (including HRSA), foundation support (notably Charles & Margary Barancik Foundation for health equity work on diabetes/obesity), corporate contributions, and individual donations. The organization serves uninsured/underinsured populations primarily, plus Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, using an income-based sliding fee scale formula with payment plans and a stated policy that no patient is turned away for inability to pay. Customer acquisition is sales-led via community outreach, partnerships with referring providers, community events (such as the Back-to-School Bash with All Faiths Food Bank), and online/phone scheduling.
