Columbus Neighborhood Health Center, INC.- Parsons Avenue Location

About

PrimaryOne Health has gone through significant changes since the first community health center was established in Columbus/Franklin County more than 40 years ago (Neighborhood House/Billie Brown Jones, 1973). We grew from one center to seven by the 1990’s. The seven centers were: Billie Brown Jones Health Center (Atcheson/Mt. Vernon Avenue); ECCO Family Health (E. Main Street); Franklinton Health Center (W. Broad Street); Hilltop Health Center (Sullivant Avenue); John R. Maloney Health Center (Parsons Avenue); St. Mark’s (N. High Street); and St. Stephen’s (E. 17th Avenue). Each of the centers was independently operated by a board of neighborhood residents. Only one of the centers was designated a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), ECCO Family Health Center which was located on the near eastside.

In 1997, the city of Columbus, which funded all seven neighborhood health centers, established a new organization, Columbus Neighborhood Health Center, Inc. (CNHC) under the leadership of Councilwoman Les Wright and Health Commissioner William “Bill” Myers. This was done to create a primary health care system and to ensure federal funding provided through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) continued to flow to Columbus through the FQHC. CNHC was established in May, 1997 as a Section 330(e) funded non-profit community health center organization (better known as FQHCs), and a Section 330(h) funded Health Care for the Homeless Program. This new non-profit organization brought all seven independent health centers together under one umbrella with three board members from each to form a new 21-member board.
