As part of our mission to strengthen primary care, we’re partnering with Dogwood Health Trust to support the capital and operational needs of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and look-alikes in western North Carolina. This effort will ensure that these health centers can continue to serve their communities despite the financial strain caused by Hurricane Helene and federal funding uncertainty.

The partnership combines flexible capital with expert technical support:

  • $10 Million Flexible Loan Fund: Dogwood Health Trust has issued $10 million to PCDC to offer low-cost, flexible loans to help eligible FQHCs and look-alikes stabilize operations, and protect and expand core patient services. The loans will have 0 costs for the first two years, and health centers will have the option to repay the loans over 10 years.
  • $490,000 for Financial and Operational Coaching: Dogwood is providing support for PCDC to provide focused, hands-on financial resiliency coaching, including revenue cycle and financial workflow assessments, cash flow management tools, modeling for Medicaid and federal funding changes, operational dashboard development, policy and workflow improvements, and long-term sustainability planning.

We’re proud to work closely with Dogwood Health Trust to pair flexible capital with hands-on financial and operational expertise that empowers health centers to stabilize, adapt, and plan for long-term sustainability.
