Core Health Partners

What Core Health Partners does

Core Health Partners (CHP) is a privately held, federally licensed health care clinic (NPI 1649815200, PTAN L1221) that delivers physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical nutrition therapy, sports medicine, nursing, massage therapy, wellness coaching, and personal training through a distinctive "clinic to community" delivery model. Rather than operating standalone medical offices, CHP embeds licensed clinical services inside community anchor institutions — primarily YMCA branches in Naples, Marco Island, and Immokalee, plus Grace Place for Children and Families, the Nichols Community Center, the Marion E. Fether Medical Center, Bloom Day School, and the Academia Sanchez-Casal tennis academy — across Southwest Florida. Its differentiated service is an American Diabetes Association–recognized Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) program, including the only ADA-recognized diabetes telehealth program in Southwest Florida, complemented by a NASA-designed 3D body imaging system for bone density, body composition, and fitness assessment.

CHP is paid predominantly through insurance reimbursement (Medicare, Florida Medicaid, and a broad list of commercial carriers including Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, Humana, Molina, and Sunshine Health), supplemented by clinical-service fees and charitable care delivered through its two affiliated nonprofit entities — the Core Health Partners Foundation Incorporated (which delivered over $215,000 in developmental-screening and scholarship services in 2023) and Togetherhood Initiative Inc. (established April 2022). The company has built an ecosystem-level referral engine: 145+ independent physicians refer into CHP programs, academic partnerships with eight universities (Nova Southeastern, Baylor, Hawai'i Pacific, Keiser, Florida Southwestern, US Sports Academy, and others) supply a clinical-intern pipeline, and mission-aligned partners such as the Help a Diabetic Child Foundation, Special Olympics Florida, and the Blue Zones Project provide brand and reach extension. Founded by Paul J. Thein in 2017–2018 after his tenure leading the Greater Naples YMCA, CHP remains a lean operation of 8 disclosed employees serving 20,000+ individuals annually across its seven-plus Southwest Florida locations.
