Program accomplishments

• CLINICAL SERVICES: A U.S. HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA)-DESIGNATED FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER LOOK-ALIKE (FQHC LOOK-ALIKE), THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH (TWCCH) SUBMITTED ITS REQUIRED ANNUAL UNIFORM DATA SYSTEM (UDS) REPORTS DOCUMENTING THE IMPACT METRICS OF ITS PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH) DELIVERY OF FULLY INTEGRATED, COMPREHENSIVE, WHOLE-PERSON PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES FOR ALL, REGARDLESS OF ZIP CODE, INSURANCE STATUS, OR ABILITY TO PAY. DURING THE COVERED PERIOD, TWCCH SERVED 37,059 UNIQUE PATIENTS AND DELIVERED 126,075 TOTAL BILLABLE VISITS BETWEEN JULY 2024 AND JUNE 2025, INCLUDING 90,615 MEDICAL VISITS, 20,316 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH VISITS, 15,144 DENTAL VISITS, AND 17,228 INPATIENT HOSPITAL VISITS. THESE SERVICES INCLUDE HOUSE CALLS AS WELL AS CARE DELIVERED IN SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES, ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES, INPATIENT AND TRANSITIONAL REHABILITATION SETTINGS, AND HOSPICE ENVIRONMENTS. TWCCH OPERATES NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE (NCQA)-RECOGNIZED PCMHS (FORMERLY NCQA LEVEL 3) WITH NCQA PRIMARY CARE/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RECOGNITION AND HISTORICAL NCQA SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTER RECOGNITION. THROUGH MEMORANDA OF UNDERSTANDING AND SHARED CARE COMPACTS WITH NUMEROUS MEDICAL, DENTAL, MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER PROVIDERS, HOSPITALS, INTEGRATED DELIVERY SYSTEMS, NURSING HOMES, HOME HEALTH AGENCIES, AND COMMUNITY-BASED RESOURCE ORGANIZATIONS, TWCCH MAINTAINS AN EXTENSIVE, ENRICHED, COORDINATED CARE NETWORK THAT EXPANDS ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SERVICES FOR ALL. TWCCH IS A DESIGNATED PENNSYLVANIA OPIOID USE DISORDER CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (COE), A PENNSYLVANIA COORDINATING CENTER FOR MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (PACMAT), AND THE CONVENING PRIMARY ORGANIZATION OF A MULTI-INSTITUTION HEALTHY MATERNAL OPIATE MEDICAL SUPPORTS (HEALTHY MOMS) PROGRAM. WITHIN ITS PCMH FRAMEWORK, TWCCH PROVIDES ROBUST PRIMARY MEDICAL, GERIATRIC, MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, DENTAL, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, AND RYAN WHITE SERVICES, COORDINATING A FULL SPECTRUM OF WHOLE-PERSON HEALTH SERVICES FOR PATIENTS. TWCCH IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY-BASED LIVING AND AGING IN PLACE, OFFERING INTEGRATED AND EMPOWERING SUPPORT THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, MEDICAL ASSISTANTS, CERTIFIED RECOVERY SPECIALISTS, ENROLLMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS, SPIRITUAL AIDES, CASE WORKERS, AND NURSE CARE MANAGERS TO OPTIMIZE RESOURCES AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. CARE IS DELIVERED TO PATIENTS THROUGHOUT THE LIFESPAN ACROSS TWCCH'S 13 FQHC LOOK-ALIKE TEACHING COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, STAFFED BY MISSION-DRIVEN INTERPROFESSIONAL CARE TEAMS THAT ALSO PROVIDE HOUSE CALLS AND HOSPITALIST, SKILLED NURSING FACILITY, HOSPICE, AND INPATIENT ACUTE REHABILITATION SERVICES THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED INSTITUTIONS. THESE COLLABORATIVE CARE TEAMS INTEGRATE BOARD-CERTIFIED PHYSICIANS IN FAMILY MEDICINE, PEDIATRICS, INTERNAL MEDICINE, RHEUMATOLOGY, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, ADDICTION MEDICINE, OBESITY MEDICINE, NUTRITION, AND GERIATRICS, COMPLEMENTED BY PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS AND NURSE PRACTITIONERS TRAINED IN PRIMARY CARE, GERIATRICS, MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND ADDICTION TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SERVICES. TWCCH'S INTERPROFESSIONAL CARE MODEL ALSO INCLUDES REGISTERED AND LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSES, MEDICAL ASSISTANTS, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, ENROLLMENT SPECIALISTS, CERTIFIED RECOVERY SPECIALISTS, MENTAL HEALTH PEER SPECIALISTS, CASE WORKERS, MEDICAL AND LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKERS, LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS, DENTISTS, DENTAL HYGIENISTS, DENTAL ASSISTANTS, EXPANDED-FUNCTION DENTAL ASSISTANTS, PHARMACISTS, NUTRITIONISTS, AND ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD SPECIALISTS. THIS TEAM-BASED PCMH CARE DELIVERY MODEL EXPANDS ACCESS TO COORDINATED CARE WHILE ALSO SUPPORTING INTERPROFESSIONAL CLINICAL EDUCATION. ENRICHED PRIMARY CARE SERVICES WITH SPECIALTY INTEGRATION ACTIVITIES ALLOW TWCCH TO EXPAND HEALTH CARE ACCESS FOR PATIENTS AND INTERPROFESSIONAL LEARNERS TO PARTNER WITH SPECIALTY PROVIDERS. CENTRAL TO TWCCH'S MISSION IS A DEEP COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY IMMERSION AND PARTNERSHIP, RECOGNIZING THAT GENUINE IMPACT STEMS FROM STRATEGIES DESIGNED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE NEEDS OF THOSE WE SERVE. THIS CORE CHARACTERISTIC OF OUR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION SAFETY-NET CONSORTIUM (GME-SNC) MODEL IS EXEMPLIFIED BY OUR STRATEGIC CO-LOCATION OF CLINICAL PRACTICES WITHIN VITAL COMMUNITY HUBS. FOR INSTANCE, OUR CO-LOCATION WITH TWO LEGACY PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE AGENCIES ALLOWS US TO ADDRESS THE COMPLEX NEEDS OF PATIENTS GRAPPLING WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS, ADVERSE EXPERIENCES, AND MULTIFACETED COMORBIDITIES AND NONMEDICAL CHALLENGES. SIMILARLY, TWCCH HAS A CLINICAL PRESENCE WITHIN A PUBLIC SCHOOL SETTING IN OUR SERVICE AREA THAT UNDERSCORES THE CRITICAL ROLE OF SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH SERVICES. BY OFFERING ACCESSIBLE MEDICAL, MENTAL, DENTAL, AND WELL-BEING RESOURCES TO STUDENTS, FAMILIES, SCHOOL EMPLOYEES, AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY, WE REMOVE BARRIERS TO FUNDAMENTAL PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES, WHILE FOSTERING A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO LEARNING AND WELL-BEING. THIS INTEGRATED APPROACH ENSURES THAT HEALTH CARE IS NOT JUST DELIVERED, BUT EMBEDDED WITHIN THE VERY FABRIC OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED, ENABLING US TO PROACTIVELY ADDRESS HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND HEALTH CARE CAREER ACCESS NEEDS AND CHALLENGES. PIPELINE RECRUITMENT WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED PROMOTES CONCORDANCE FROM THE WORKFORCE WITH THE POPULATIONS SERVED, EMPOWERING RECRUITMENT FROM, RETENTION IN, AND RESTORATION OF THE COMMUNITIES.

• 340B DRUG PRICING PROGRAM: TO FURTHER ENHANCE OUR HIGH-INTEGRITY REINVESTMENT OF 340B RESOURCES INTO SERVICE DELIVERY FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, TWCCH UNDERTOOK A REASSESSMENT OF THE INTENTIONAL ALLOCATION OF 340B REVENUES. AS A LONG-STANDING PARTICIPANT IN THE US DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 340B DRUG PRICING PROGRAM AS BOTH A RYAN WHITE PROGRAM U.S. HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA) GRANTEE AND TITLE X SERVICE PROVIDER, TWCCH HAS CONSISTENTLY PRIORITIZED AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO MEDICATION. HOWEVER, WITH ITS DESIGNATION AS A FQHC LOOK-ALIKE EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 2019, TWCCH EXPANDED ITS 340B PARTICIPATION ACROSS PRIMARY CARE, ENHANCING AND ENRICHING THE WHOLE-PERSON PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES WE PROVIDE TO ALL. THIS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FEDERAL PROGRAM ENABLES ELIGIBLE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO PURCHASE OUTPATIENT PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AT REDUCED PRICES FROM PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURERS. THIS DISCOUNT WAS THEN PASSED ON TO QUALIFYING PATIENTS THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH PARTICIPATING PHARMACIES, THEREBY INCREASING ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL MEDICATIONS FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. PATIENT ELIGIBILITY FOR 340B DISCOUNTS IS DETERMINED BASED ON INCOME AND DEMONSTRATED HARDSHIP, ENSURING THAT THOSE WITH THE GREATEST NEED RECEIVE CRUCIAL SUPPORT. CRITICAL 340B PROGRAM REVENUES GENERATED THROUGH RYAN WHITE AND FQHC LOOK-ALIKE SERVICES ARE STRATEGICALLY REINVESTED IN EACH RESPECTIVE PROGRAM TO ENHANCE AND ENRICH THE COMPREHENSIVE, WHOLE-PERSON PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES TWCCH PROVIDES TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES, EXPAND ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY PROVIDER HEALTH SERVICES, REDUCE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT UTILIZATION, AND REDUCE THE OVERALL COSTS OF TWCCH'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. FURTHERMORE, 340B REVENUES FUEL IMPACTFUL COMMUNITY OUTREACH INITIATIVES STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE NONMEDICAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH OUTCOMES AND PROMOTE WHOLE-PERSON WELLNESS. THESE INITIATIVES INCLUDE HEALTH FAIRS, FREE SCREENINGS (E.G., BLOOD GLUCOSE, BLOOD PRESSURE, BODY MASS INDEX (BMI), AND CHOLESTEROL), POP-UP FOOD AND CLOTHING PANTRIES, AND TARGETED PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS. TWCCH FOCUSES ON EMPOWERING VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS SUCH AS SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER, HIV/AIDS, HEPATITIS C, OBESITY, DIABETES, AND ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE TO ADOPT HEALTHIER NUTRITIONAL HABITS AND LIFESTYLES. SPECIFICALLY, RYAN WHITE-RELATED 340B FUNDING PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT TO INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS, ENCOMPASSING MEDICAL, LABORATORY, AND TELEHEALTH SERVICES, MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT, HOME-DELIVERED MEALS, INSURANCE PREMIUM ASSISTANCE, EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID, MENTAL HEALTH, TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, AND EXPANDED DENTAL CARE. BECAUSE 340B RESOURCES ARE REINVESTED DIRECTLY INTO PATIENT SERVICES, PROGRAM STABILITY IS ESSENTIAL TO MAINTAINING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE MEDICATIONS AND COMPREHENSIVE PRIMARY CARE FOR THE PATIENTS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES TWCCH SERVES. CHANGES THAT MATERIALLY REDUCE THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE 340B PROGRAM COULD SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THE CAPACITY OF SAFETY-NET PROVIDERS TO SUSTAIN THESE SERVICES WITHIN EXISTING CLINICAL REVENUE STRUCTURES.
