Access to Healthcare Network

What Access to Healthcare Network does

Access to Healthcare Network (AHN) is a Nevada-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2006 that provides healthcare access programs to uninsured, underinsured, and low-income residents across 12 Northern Nevada counties. Its core offering, the ACCESS Health Network medical discount program, charges monthly membership fees in exchange for discounted services delivered through a regional provider network at the point of care; Access Medical is registered with the State of Nevada Division of Insurance but is not insurance. AHN also administers a portfolio of federally and state-funded programs — including Ryan White HIV/AIDS services, Women's Health Connection cancer screenings, State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), Medicare Assistance Program (MAP), and Nevada Care Connection (NVCC), the state's aging and disability resource network — and runs chronic disease management, non-emergency medical transportation, prescription assistance, health education, and the ACCESS Community Market food access program.

AHN operates a 51–100 person organization headquartered at 4001 S. Virginia Street in Reno and reaches its members primarily through community-based outreach, health fairs, and direct call-based enrollment (833-398-1796, 1-877-385-2345). Its technology footprint is operational rather than differentiated: Salesforce CRM serves as the system of record for client records and care coordination, an in-house AHN Texting System layers SMS appointment and medication reminders on top of Salesforce, and accessibility tools such as the ASL Anywhere App and UbiDuo device serve Deaf and Hard of Hearing members. Program impact metrics include 28,000+ seniors served since 2013, 7,000+ women served in the past year through the Access Cancer Care Network of Nevada (6,990 screenings, 194 treatment journeys, 98% beginning treatment within 60 days of diagnosis), and $502,246 raised for breast cancer treatment.

Revenue is diversified across Access Medical membership fees, government program funding, and tax-deductible donations (Tax ID 721619489), but is not publicly disclosed. Strategic partnerships anchor the operating model — Renown Health, Saint Mary's Hospital, Northern Nevada HOPES, Kaiser Permanente (via Renown JV), Food Bank of Northern Nevada, and AIDS Healthcare Foundation — alongside board representation from local healthcare leadership. AHN has earned consecutive Best Place to Work recognition from the Northern Nevada Human Resources Association (2024, 2025) and Best Place for Women to Work from the Nevada Women's Fund (2025), reflecting organizational stability rather than commercial scaling.

Others

• Susan G. Komen: National nonprofit running breast cancer screening, education, and patient-navigation programs for underserved women. Directly comparable to AHN's Women's Health Connection/Access Cancer Care Network for breast and cervical cancer screening in low-income populations.
• American Cancer Society: National nonprofit funding cancer research, screening initiatives, and patient navigation services including for underserved populations. Adjacent peer because AHN's cancer navigation focuses on the same patient cohort from a regional, ground-level delivery angle.
• United Way Worldwide: National umbrella for United Way chapters and 211 information-and-referral services that coordinate health and social services for vulnerable populations. AHN's Nevada Care Connection single-point-of-entry model is functionally a 211-equivalent for aging and disability services.
• Patient Advocate Foundation: National nonprofit providing case management, financial assistance, and care navigation for patients with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. Comparable to AHN's Access Medical Cancer Program navigation function but at national scale.
• Careington International Corporation: Operator of dental, vision, and medical discount plans sold to individuals and groups. Directly comparable product (Access Medical is a discount-network model) though Careington operates commercially at national scale rather than as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Direct peers

• Northern Nevada HOPES: Federally Qualified Health Center based in Reno providing primary care, behavioral health, HIV specialty care, and pharmacy to underserved populations. Direct peer in Northern Nevada safety-net space and an active AHN referral partner for Ryan White and wraparound services.
• Nevada Health Centers: Statewide FQHC operator in Nevada providing primary care, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services on a sliding-fee basis. Comparable mission (healthcare access for underserved) at greater geographic scale within the same state.
• Community Health Alliance (Nevada): Reno/Sparks-based FQHC delivering primary medical, dental, and behavioral health care to uninsured and underinsured patients in Northern Nevada. Directly comparable service mix and target population as AHN.

Broad incumbents

• Volunteers in Medicine: National network of free clinics serving uninsured and underinsured adults across the U.S. Shares AHN's core mission of providing free/reduced-cost care to the uninsured, but operates nationally through volunteer-driven clinics rather than a discount-network model.
• National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics: National membership organization representing free and charitable clinics serving the uninsured. AHN sits in the same ecosystem and would be a member alongside analogous community-health nonprofits across the U.S.
