What Prism Health does

Prism Health is a Portland, Oregon-based non-profit healthcare organization operating as a project of Cascade AIDS Project, Inc., a 501(c)(3) parent nonprofit. Founded in 2017 and employing approximately 32 staff, the organization runs two physical clinic locations — Prism Health | Belmont (2236 SE Belmont St) and Prism Health | Morris (15 N Morris St) — delivering culturally affirming care to LGBTQ+ individuals and others facing systemic barriers to healthcare. Its integrated service portfolio spans six core clinical lines: primary care, HIV care, behavioral health and substance use support, pharmacy (on-site plus mail-order), sexual health through the dedicated Pivot clinic, and PrEP. The technology stack consists of the OCHIN electronic health record with the MyChart patient portal for digital engagement, plus a Labcorp partnership providing on-site diagnostic testing. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service billing to insurers and patients, supplemented by a sliding fee discount program for uninsured and underinsured patients and philanthropic donations channeled through Cascade AIDS Project. No AI/ML capabilities are deployed; no equity funding, M&A activity, or external investors are disclosed. The business model is direct-to-consumer with no enterprise accounts, and geographic reach is confined to the Portland metropolitan area.
