Revenue is generated from a mix of insurance reimbursements (Puerto Rico's Vital/Medicaid plan covering ~50%+ of patients, Medicare ~20%, private plans, and 5% uninsured), sliding-scale patient fees, and federal sources including Section 330 Health Center Program grants, Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding from HHS/HRSA/HAB, 340B Drug Pricing Program savings, and Vaccines for Children. The patient mix skews heavily toward medically indigent, uninsured, under-insured, and special populations (HIV/AIDS, substance users, migrants, public housing residents), with an annual patient base of approximately 12,000 and capacity for up to 17,000. Recent product additions include a 2025 therapeutic gym ("Gimnasio Terapéutico") and a branded health education video platform ("Palmieri Te Educa").
