What HEALing Community Health does

HEALing Community Health (legal entity: HEAL, Inc.) is a private, non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 2013 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The organization delivers integrated primary medical, dental, behavioral health, women's health, children's health, and preventive care services to underserved populations across Fulton, DeKalb, and Douglas Counties, with five access points including the main clinic on Cascade Road, two school-based sites at Leonora P. Miles Elementary and Hollis Innovation Academy, the Abernathy Dental Clinic, and the Douglasville Medical and Dental Clinic opened in April 2025. Service lines include Adult Health, Dental, Women's Health, Children's Health, Behavioral Health, Vaccinations, HIV/PrEP, and the Healthy Mamas ATL maternal health initiative launched in July 2025.

The underlying technology stack is conventional community health center infrastructure rather than proprietary IP: an eClinicalWorks (eCW) patient portal hosted at mycw129.ecwcloud.com provides 24/7 access to health records, lab results, and provider messaging; healow.com powers online appointment scheduling and Healow Pay handles billing; and telehealth video consultations are offered for behavioral health and other services. A sliding-scale fee system based on income and family size is integrated into billing to ensure access for uninsured and underinsured patients.

HEALing Community Health operates under a community-based GTM model, reaching patients through walk-in appointments, online and phone scheduling, in-school health services, and community partnerships with the Georgia Primary Care Association and NACHC. Revenue is generated from three streams: HRSA federal grants tied to its FQHC designation, patient services revenue (fee-for-service plus Medicaid and Medicare), and sliding-scale fee revenue from uninsured patients. The organization is governed by a community board chaired by Dr. Reuben Warren, with founder Dr. Charles Moore serving as Vice-Chair, and is led operationally by CEO Dr. Verneda Bachus Curry, CMO Dr. Diana Wilson, and CFO Dionne Denson.
