Leadership Council for Healthy Communities

What Leadership Council for Healthy Communities does

Leadership Council for Healthy Communities (LCHC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2021 and headquartered at 10 G St NE, Washington, DC. Its stated mission is to promote healthy communities through comprehensive programs and services throughout the National Capital Region, addressing health disparities that adversely affect the community. The organization frames its programming around four pillars — physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being — and serves primarily underserved community members in the District of Columbia and surrounding Maryland areas.

LCHC's primary documented offering is a recurring community event series branded "Blue Print For Wellness Health Screening," delivered free of charge at partner faith-based venues. Documented host venues include Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church (3000 Pennsylvania Ave. SE, Washington, DC), The Master's Touch Praise Ministries (4706 Raleigh Rd, Temple Hills, MD), Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church (4611 Sheriff Rd NE, Washington, DC), and Israel Baptist Church (1251 Saratoga Avenue NE, Washington, DC), with events scheduled through May 2026. The organization does not disclose a proprietary technology platform, software product, mobile application, or API; service delivery is community-facing, event-driven, and dependent on physical presence at faith-based venues rather than digital channels.

As a 501(c)(3), LCHC generates no commercial product or service revenue from beneficiaries — programs are provided at no cost and pricing is not publicly disclosed, with no fee-based services identified. The go-to-market motion relies on direct community outreach, faith-based institutional partnerships, and a public event calendar. LCHC operates with a lean team of approximately 11 employees, no disclosed institutional funding rounds, no parent organization, and executive leadership currently held by Floyd O. May, II following the transition from founding Executive Director Sullivan Robinson.
