Alliance For Community Health

What Alliance For Community Health does

Alliance For Community Health is a Florida-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2012 by a group of physicians to connect children and families in Central Florida with healthcare services and community resources. The organization's core operating model is the deployment of trained Community Health Workers (CHWs) who serve as the primary interface between patients and a curated network of community partners, addressing social determinants of health including food insecurity, housing instability, utility assistance, medication access, and legal aid. The org explicitly operates on a non-duplication model, partnering with established entities rather than replicating services.

Its service portfolio comprises four interconnected programs: Connections for Physicians (resources to help providers link patients to community services), Connections for Neighbors (community-facing education including for teachers), Support for Communities (direct assistance for basic-needs gaps), and the CHW Program (front-line outreach and case coordination). An emerging initiative, the ACCESS Model, is listed on the website under a 'Coming Soon' section, signaling a forthcoming programmatic expansion.

The business model is purely philanthropic: services are delivered free of charge, and revenue comes from tax-deductible individual donations and grants (including from institutional funders such as the Cigna Foundation and Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida). Governance is exercised by a physician-founded board whose directors include leadership from primary care (Total Family Healthcare, Primary Partners LLC), food security (Second Harvest), health policy (Health Council of East Central Florida), the Florida Coalition of Community Health Workers, and the University of Central Florida, embedding the organization deeply in Central Florida's regional health ecosystem. The organization has ~8 staff, no commercial product, no app or API, and operates from a single headquarters in Clermont, FL.

Core offering

Alliance for Community Health is a non-profit organization that connects children and families in Central Florida to healthcare services and community resources through trained Community Health Workers. The organization operates four interconnected programs — Connections for Physicians, Connections for Neighbors, Support for Communities, and the Community Health Workers Program — that address social determinants of health including food insecurity, housing instability, utilities, medications, and legal aid.

Product overview

Alliance For Community Health is a nonprofit organization offering a suite of community health programs and services rather than a technology product. The organization operates four interconnected service areas: (1) Connections for Physicians/Materials for Learning provides resources helping healthcare providers link patients to community services; (2) Connections for Neighbors/Education for Teachers delivers community education on health resources; (3) Support for Communities addresses direct needs including food, utilities, medications, housing, and legal aid; and (4) Community Health Workers serve as front-line connectors helping individuals navigate care and resources. The ACCESS Model represents an emerging programmatic initiative. All services emphasize partnership with existing community organizations to expand rather than duplicate available resources.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• findhelp (formerly Aunt Bertha): The largest US social-care referral platform, digitizing connections between people in need and programs for food, housing, utilities, and healthcare. Represents the tech-enabled version of the resource-navigation function Alliance performs manually through CHWs.

Direct peers

• Health Leads: National nonprofit that partners with healthcare providers to connect patients to community resources addressing social determinants of health. Operates the same physician-referred, resource-navigation model that Alliance executes locally, but at a multi-state scale with deeper institutional funding.
• Florida Coalition of Community Health Workers: Statewide coalition representing community health workers, the same workforce model that forms the core of Alliance's service delivery. Lisa Hamilton, PhD (Alliance board director) directs this coalition, creating direct governance overlap and shared workforce-development interests.

Others

• Cigna Foundation: Philanthropic arm of Cigna Group focused on health equity and community health. Currently a funder of Alliance; comparable as an institutional social-determinants funding channel that any community-health nonprofit with similar programs could pursue.

Broad incumbents

• Feeding America: National hunger-relief organization and Second Harvest's parent network. Comparable as a large-scale social-determinants nonprofit addressing food insecurity through a partner-network model similar to Alliance's non-duplication approach.
• Habitat for Humanity: National nonprofit addressing housing instability, one of the social-determinants domains Alliance connects families to. Comparable as a similarly structured community-resource nonprofit that partners with local affiliates and refers clients across related resource categories.
• United Way: Large established national nonprofit that funds and coordinates community social services across food, housing, education, and health. Operates the 211 information-and-referral line that directly competes with Alliance's CHW-mediated navigation in many markets.

Regional players

• Primary Partners, LLC: Central Florida healthcare organization and Alliance board-represented partner (Allie Torres serves as Treasurer). Comparable as a regionally focused health-services entity that also serves the same community-health navigation function for its patient population.
• Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida: Central Florida's largest food bank and a core Alliance partner on the food-insecurity community grant. Angela Corona, MPH (Alliance board director) directs this organization. While food-focused, it is a direct operational peer in the social-determinants resource-navigation ecosystem.
• Health Council of East Central Florida: Regional health planning and community-health organization in East Central Florida that overlaps with Alliance's geography and mission. Ken Peach (Alliance board director) is also a director here, indicating close operational alignment on community-health coordination.
