STRATEGY TO SERVE THE UNMET NEED Hospitals get primary care outlets and tax benefit. Providers get secure employment. COMMUNITY BENEFIT Uninsured and underinsured patients get access to quality care. LSCC realizes its mission. Without an annual, recurring federal grant to support each site, LSCC created sustainable expansion in two ways in order to reduce risk to our overall mission: With capital costs covered by the partner, multi-service sites (that include services to children and pregnant women who often have a funding source) would eventually break even or generate positive NOI due to payer mix Partners who wanted a clinic to be an alternative to Emergency Rooms and/or to focus on chronically ill patients (typically uninsured adults) agreed to cover the monthly expenses associated with operating this type of clinic By collaborating with hospitals, we avoided competing primary care strategies and instead partnered to increase sustainable access to care through a public/private partnership
