504HealthNet

What 504HealthNet does

504HealthNet, Inc. is a non-profit healthcare association founded in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to coordinate community-based primary care and behavioral health services in the Greater New Orleans region. The organization functions as an umbrella body for 26 non-profit and governmental healthcare organizations that collectively operate 61 clinic locations and serve over 175,000 patients, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Its membership is open to providers offering primary care or behavioral health services to low-income, under-insured, and uninsured populations, with a special focus on culturally appropriate care delivery.

The core product surface consists of a Find a Clinic locator tool with filters for neighborhood, service type, and patient demographics; a Medicaid navigation service delivered in partnership with Navigators for a Healthy Louisiana; bilingual (English/Spanish) printable neighborhood clinic maps; programs such as the Healthy Hospitality Initiative for hospitality workers; and the annual Connected Care Summit that convenes member organizations. The association does not operate a traditional software platform or proprietary technology stack; its primary assets are the governance structure, referral coordination, and shared branding across the member network. Underlying technology is not publicly disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are not transparently disclosed. The association operates on a non-profit model that appears to combine grants, donations, member support, and partnership funding (e.g., United Way for the Healthy Hospitality Initiative, GiveNOLA Day annual fundraising). Member clinics independently offer sliding-scale fees based on patient income. The central association has 1-10 employees and is led by Executive Director Currin Wallis and Director of Operations and Finance Mayra Gill, with governance provided by a board of directors drawn from member organizations.
