Refuah Health Center (RefuahHealth)

What Refuah Health Center (RefuahHealth) does

Refuah Health Center (RefuahHealth) is a private, nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1992 in New Square, New York, delivering comprehensive primary, specialty, dental, behavioral health, and women's health services to underserved populations across the Hudson Valley. The organization operates six fixed clinical sites spanning Spring Valley (main campus and Twin Avenue), South Fallsburg, Liberty, and Monsey, supplemented by mobile medical units that serve rural Sullivan County communities and seasonal camps. It employs 203 providers across adult primary care, pediatrics, OB/GYN, behavioral health, cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, urology, optometry, podiatry, radiology, rehabilitation, and pediatric subspecialties, with sub-brands including the Care4Her urgent women's health walk-in service and the Esther Deutsch Birthing Center. The care model is built on the Patient-Centered Medical Home framework, supported by an eClinicalWeb-based electronic medical record system with a patient portal for communication, scheduling, and medical record access, and a Patient Services Department that handles insurance navigation, social services referrals, and specialty scheduling.

The organization is sustained by FQHC cost-based reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, sliding-fee-scale payments from uninsured patients, and federal grants from HHS, HRSA, and CDC. Its revenue model is effectively recurring service reimbursement tied to patient encounters, supplemented by grants such as the $500,000 HRSA Accelerating Cancer Screening award (2023), $2,000,000 in federal women's health funding (2022), and additional CDC health-disparities funding. RefuahHealth distributes care through direct-to-consumer channels: walk-in Acute Care, scheduled visits via portal and phone, the Care4Her after-hours service, mobile units in rural and camp settings, and a patient shuttle for transportation. The organization has pursued an active growth strategy, expanding women's health services (Care4Her launched in 2025, with a 20,000-square-foot Women's Health Wing under construction as of mid-2025), integrating two pediatric practices (Hillcrest Medical Associates in 2022 and Monsey Pediatrics in 2025), and building a new outpatient medical home in South Fallsburg, Sullivan County, with federal construction funding awarded in 2025. It is also the only FQHC-led Performing Provider System in New York State under the DSRIP program, with documented outcomes including the lowest hospital admissions rate in NYS for preventable conditions and an 88% non-C-section birth rate versus 67% nationally.
