Your one-stop shop for community care in South & Central Texas
The Health Collaborative is the backbone organization ready to partner on the CMS Rural Health Transformation Program, HHSC 1115 waiver, HRSA workforce grants, and Medicaid MCO value-based contracts — with workforce, technology, governance, and evaluation already in place.
One organization. Every capability funders are looking for.
Reviewers are tired of stitching together five vendors. THC delivers assessment, planning, workforce, care coordination, technology, evaluation, and fiscal infrastructure under a single accountable entity.
Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)
Tri-annual, federally aligned CHNAs covering Bexar and surrounding counties — most recent edition published 2025.
Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)
Multi-sector planning that converts CHNA findings into measurable, fundable strategies and shared accountability frameworks.
Pathways Community HUB
AHRQ-designated, evidence-based care coordination model with 33 contracted Care Coordination Agencies and closed-loop referrals.
State-Certified CHW Workforce
Texas DSHS–certified training center providing free CHW training, mentorship, work placement, and upskilling for partner employers.
HITRUST + HIPAA-Compliant Platform
Secure technology platform that tracks every identified need from discovery to resolution — built for outcomes-based payment and grant reporting.
Evaluation & Impact Reporting
Standardized pathways, validated outcome measures, and dashboards that satisfy funder, payer, and federal reporting requirements.
Backbone & Fiscal Sponsorship
501(c)(3) since 2000 with audited financials. We can serve as prime applicant, sub-grantee, fiscal sponsor, or convening backbone.
Coalition & Governance
Cross-sector board representing FQHCs, hospital systems, Medicaid MCO, public health, and academic partners — the convening table is already built.
Rural-ready across South & Central Texas
Our Community Health Worker network already operates in the urban, suburban, and rural communities prioritized by the CMS Rural Health Transformation Program and Texas HHSC — with neighborhood-based CHWs trusted by the families they serve.
Built for the funding opportunities ahead
THC's infrastructure maps directly to the priority areas of the major rural and community health programs being released in 2025–2027.
CMS Rural Health Transformation Program
Workforce development, care coordination, technology enablement, and SDOH integration — all four CMS priority areas delivered through one accountable backbone.
Texas HHSC 1115 Waiver / DSRIP-Successor
Pathways model is purpose-built for outcomes-based Medicaid payment; HUB infrastructure supports DPP, IPH, and CHW services billing.
Medicaid MCO Value-Based Contracts
Closed-loop SDOH referrals, HEDIS-aligned outcomes, and CHW interventions that reduce ED utilization and readmissions.
HRSA Rural Health & Workforce Grants
Certified CHW training pipeline, rural county service area, and FQHC/CHC partnerships position THC as ready sub-recipient or prime.
CDC, SAMHSA & Foundation Grants
CHNA/CHIP authority, evaluation rigor, and equity-focused governance meet most national funder requirements out of the box.
