Bienville Family Clinic

What Bienville Family Clinic does

Bienville Family Clinic is a CMS-certified Rural Health Clinic (RHC) located at 1175 Pine Street, Suite 100, in Arcadia, Louisiana, operated by Bienville Parish Hospital Service District No. 2, a public government entity. The clinic provides family-oriented comprehensive primary care across the lifespan — well-woman care, newborn and well-child care, pediatrics, adult and geriatric medicine, family planning, immunizations, sports and work (DOT) physicals, drug screening, and chronic disease management (hypertension, diabetes). It is staffed by a small team of approximately 6 people, including two physicians (Dr. Terry B. Gardner, Medical Director, board-certified in Family Medicine since 1999; Dr. Melinda Willis, Pediatrician), three nurse practitioners, and front-office/clinical support. Revenue is generated primarily through insurance billing (private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid for both children and adults), private/self-pay, ancillary services, and a separate Bienville Wellness Center membership program ($35 single / $55 couple / $80 family per month, month-to-month, no contract).

The clinic's most distinctive capability is a school-based telehealth collaborative with the Bienville Parish School Board, initiated in 2016, which delivers medical visits to students at all six parish school campuses via specialized telehealth equipment (cameras, lenses, and audio for transmitting heart and lung sounds). The program scaled from 627 telehealth visits in 2016/17 to 695 in 2017/18, was recognized with the National Rural Health Association's 2019 Award for Outstanding Rural Health Program, and is sustained by reimbursement agreements with all five Louisiana Medicaid Managed Care contractors. Supporting access infrastructure includes a 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon patient transportation van equipped with an AED, and an 11,000+ square foot Bienville Wellness Center (separate location at 1300 Pine Street) offering state-of-the-art equipment, indoor and outdoor tracks, and 24/7 scan-card access. The clinic also operates a HIPAA-compliant eClinicalWorks (eCW) patient portal and is an NHSC member site.

Direct peers

• Hazel Health: School-based telehealth provider delivering medical and mental health visits to K-12 students. Most directly comparable peer for Bienville Family Clinic's school-based telehealth program, which is the clinic's primary differentiator and award-winning offering.

Regional players

• Access Health Louisiana: Louisiana-based Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) network operating multiple community health centers across the state. Comparable as a Louisiana-focused community/school health provider serving underserved populations, though larger and FQHC-funded rather than RHC.
• Southeast Community Health Systems: Louisiana FQHC operating multiple community health centers in rural parishes. Directly comparable as a rural Louisiana primary care provider serving Medicaid/Medicare populations with a school and community health orientation.
• Iberia Comprehensive Community Health Center: Louisiana FQHC providing primary care, pediatrics, and behavioral health in rural Acadiana parishes. Comparable rural Louisiana primary care and community-health footprint with overlap in Medicaid/Medicare patient mix.
• Teche Action Clinic: Louisiana FQHC serving rural parishes with primary care, pediatrics, and behavioral health. Comparable geographic and patient-population overlap with Bienville Family Clinic's rural, underserved, family-medicine focus.

Broad incumbents

• One Medical (Amazon): Membership-based primary care platform with integrated virtual care. Comparable as a tech-enabled primary care and wellness provider serving families, though at national scale and urban/suburban concentration rather than rural.
• Oak Street Health (CVS Health): Value-based primary care provider focused on Medicare beneficiaries in underserved communities. Comparable mission (primary care access for underserved populations) and primary care delivery model, though focused on senior populations and urban markets.
• Privia Health Group: Multi-state primary care physician platform supporting independent practices with technology, population health, and value-based care enablement. Comparable as a primary care delivery and enablement platform, though at much larger scale.
• Children's Hospital of New Orleans (LCMC Health): Pediatric tertiary care system and school health partner operating across Louisiana, including school nurse and telehealth programs. Comparable pediatric and school-health orientation to Bienville's school-based telehealth program, though at system scale.

Emerging players

• SchoolCare: Provider of school-based health services including nursing, telehealth, and chronic disease management in K-12 schools. Comparable as a school-health service platform intersecting with Bienville's school-based telehealth program, though a staffing-led model rather than a clinic-anchored model.
