What edchc.org does

El Dorado Community Health Centers (EDCHC) is a 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 2003 and headquartered in Placerville, California, delivering integrated primary, behavioral, dental, and specialty healthcare to the residents of El Dorado County. The organization operates four clinical sites (Placerville headquarters, two Cameron Park locations, and a South Lake Tahoe satellite) and deploys a Mobile Medical Unit and an El Dorado Smiles Dental Van to reach homeless adults, chronic-disease patients, and schoolchildren. Service lines include Primary Care, Dental, Eye Care, Podiatry, Women's Health, on-site Pharmacy, Behavioral Health, the STEPS addiction medicine program with Medically Assisted Treatment, Psychiatry with Genesight pharmacogenomic testing, Patient Support Services, and a telemedicine platform that connects patients to specialists in endocrinology, neurology, nephrology, psychiatry, rheumatology, and dermatology. EDCHC holds FTCA deemed status, NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition, and is a designated National Health Service Corps (NHSC) site.

The underlying technology stack is conventional healthcare IT rather than proprietary software: a secure HIPAA-compliant telemedicine video platform, an eClinicalWeb patient portal, and standard EHR systems; no proprietary AI or advanced analytics capabilities are disclosed. EDCHC monetizes through a hybrid model combining insurance reimbursements (Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial, Covered California) under FQHC cost-based reimbursement, federal HRSA grant funding under sections 224(g)-(n) of the Public Health Service Act, sliding-scale patient fees pegged to family size and income, and 501(c)(3) charitable donations. Its go-to-market is direct-to-patient across the county, supported by community partnerships with First 5 of El Dorado, El Dorado County Health and Human Services, El Dorado County Office of Education, the Coalition for Overdose Prevention & Education (COPE), Kick It California, and local social-service networks.
