Amity Medical Group Inc.

Amity Medical Group Inc., a Charlotte, North Carolina-based 501(c)(3) non-profit federally qualified health center look-alike, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to deliver integrated primary care, behavioral health services, and substance use disorder treatment to underserved populations in the Charlotte metropolitan area. The organization does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint consists exclusively of Health and Human Services grant awards under SAMHSA and HRSA programs.

Amity Medical Group was formed in 2015 to provide primary HIV medical care and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS and received FQHC look-alike designation in February 2023. The organization currently operates six locations with plans to expand to seven sites and delivers comprehensive primary medical care, behavioral health services, HIV-related support, and medication-assisted treatment services to vulnerable and low-income residents across Mecklenburg County. The organization's grant portfolio reflects a narrow customer base: two awards from the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment) and one from the Health Resources and Services Administration (Bureau of Primary Health Care), accounting for 100% of documented awards totaling $6.9 million in combined obligated dollars.

Representative grant work includes a $995,000 SAMHSA project grant awarded September 30, 2026, under the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.490) to implement Project THRIVE, a technology-assisted Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) program serving the Charlotte metropolitan area population of 2.9 million, with approximately 70% of participants consisting of youth ages 12–21; the award runs through September 29, 2031. Amity also received an $650,000 Health Center Program award from HRSA (CFDA 93.224) in August 2026 to expand primary health care and behavioral health services across seven sites through July 31, 2027, addressing a documented gap in coverage where fewer than 13% of 467,913 low-income residents in the service area were served by a health center as of 2023. An earlier $650,000 SAMHSA project grant from September 30, 2023, through September 29, 2028, supported expansion of medication-assisted treatment and opioid use disorder services in the Charlotte area alongside social determinants screening and support. Two of three awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, signaling potential recompete activity in that window.
