North Florida Medical

What North Florida Medical does

North Florida Medical Centers, Inc. (NFMC) is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Community Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1979, headquartered at 2804 Remington Green Circle in Tallahassee, Florida. The organization operates 10 community health center locations across 10 North Florida counties (Crestview, Eastpoint, Quincy/Jessie Furlow, Madison, Mayo, Tallahassee/North Monroe, Panacea/Wakulla, Perry, Wewahitchka, and others), three dental clinics (Crestview, Jessie Furlow, Madison), a mobile medical unit called Health Force One, and school-based dental outreach programs in Gadsden, Okaloosa, and Taylor counties. Service lines include family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, women's health, geriatrics, behavioral health, comprehensive dental care, and an on-site pharmacy under construction at Jessie Furlow (planned Q1 2026). Clinical staff comprises 8 physicians and 12 nurse practitioners network-wide, with several physicians practicing 20+ years. The Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Patrick Brown, has held the role for 14 years and received the 2022 FACHC Jessie Trice Outstanding Leadership Award. CEO Lane M. Lunn leads a volunteer community board.

NFMC's technology stack is a third-party Electronic Medical Records platform (eClinicalWorks/eCW) with the healow patient engagement and patient portal layer for online bill pay and medical records access. Internally developed differentiators include custom EMR templates and order sets for Medicare initial preventive visits and annual wellness visits (built by EHR Director Donna Stroh), the VIM (Vendor Information Management) tool for care-gap and diagnosis-gap alerts supporting compliance with the FSU Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), Healow Insights gap-analysis utilities, and a custom 65+ Questionnaire for fall risk, medication review, and elder maltreatment screening. The firm participates in the NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home program across all 10 locations, holds HIPAA-compliant operations, and operates under HHS funding with Federal Public Health Service (PHS) deemed status providing medical malpractice coverage.

NFMC's revenue model is a hybrid of (a) fee-for-service patient revenue from Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and commercial insurance, (b) self-pay at sliding-fee rates starting as low as $10-$25 per visit including most labs, (c) the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program through which NFMC purchases medications at federal-statutory discounts and passes savings to patients (including 90-day supplies at substantial discounts, partnered with Walgreens), and (d) federal grant funding including a share of a nearly $156 million HHS expansion grant awarded to Jessie Furlow Medical Center in 2016 to add integrated dental services. Customer segments are horizontal: underserved and rural communities, uninsured/underinsured patients, Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries, and entire families seeking a medical home. Growth capital is internally generated or grant-funded rather than venture/private equity financed, and there is no parent company.
