Central City Integrated Health

What Central City Integrated Health does

Central City Health, Inc. (operating as Central City Integrated Health or CCH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 1972 and headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. The organization operates as a Level III Patient-Centered Medical Home that integrates medical, dental, behavioral health, housing, community re-entry/jail diversion, and employment services under a single roof, serving more than 4,000 individuals across roughly 55,000 patient services per year in Detroit and Wayne County. Its core technology stack consists of Electronic Health Records, Health Information Technology for quality reporting, digital dental X-rays, and an integrated clinical workflow model — standard health-IT infrastructure rather than proprietary AI systems. Revenue is generated primarily through FQHC clinical reimbursements (Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, sliding-fee self-pay), supplemented by federal and state grants including a $4 million SAMHSA grant awarded in 2023, HUD grants with 26 landlords for housing services, and philanthropic donations.

CCH's go-to-market is a hybrid community-outreach and direct-service model: it operates three fixed Detroit locations (10 Peterboro St., the 3rd Street Health Center opened March 2025, and 613 Abbott St. administrative offices opened March 2025), a Mobile Healthcare Unit launched in July 2025 that travels to project-based voucher housing sites, shelters, schools, and community centers, and partnership-driven activations with organizations such as DWIHN, DWMHA, Muslim Family Services ICNA Relief Michigan, and COTS Detroit. Pricing is structured around a Sliding Fee Discount Program calibrated to household size and income, with no patient denied care for inability to pay. The organization manages more than 600 affordable housing units and provides 213 leases to homeless individuals with disabilities, signaling meaningful operational scale beyond traditional outpatient care into the social determinants of health. Customer concentration is high on the payer side (federal grants, HRSA funding, Medicaid) and low on the patient side (long-tail underserved individuals). CCH earned four HRSA Community Health Center Quality Recognition badges in 2025 and was led in 2024 by a Crain's Detroit Business Healthcare Hero awardee, Dr. Kimberly Farrow-Felton.
