Jessie Trice Community Health System Inc.

Jessie Trice Community Health System Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit federally qualified health center based in Miami, Florida, is a federal grant recipient (82% of recent awards as prime recipient) providing primary healthcare, dental services, behavioral health care, and health professions training programs to underserved populations across Miami-Dade County since 1967. JTCHS operates across seven distinct federal customer agencies, with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) driving the vast majority of recent funding — 30 of 34 total awards (88% coverage) flow from HRSA's Bureau of Health Professionals, Bureau of Primary Health Care, and Healthcare Systems Bureau.

JTCHS's capability portfolio centers on three functional domains grounded in its recent grant awards. First, primary care workforce development: a $500,000 five-year Primary Care Training and Enhancement (PCTE, CFDA 93.884) grant effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, supports the Street Medicine Residency project, which embeds family medicine residents in mobile clinics, shelters, and street-based settings to deliver trauma-informed care to individuals experiencing homelessness, including training in medication for opioid use disorder and medical-legal partnerships. A Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program grant (July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2029) and a Teaching Health Center Planning and Development Program award (December 1, 2021, through August 31, 2024) round out residency and workforce training focus. Second, health center infrastructure and capital support: congressionally directed spending for construction projects awarded September 30, 2023, and June 1, 2023, funded facility upgrades; a $490,000 Capital Assistance for Hurricane Response and Recovery Efforts (CARE) grant (September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2026) upgraded HVAC and generator systems at the Fatima Zafar MD Health & Wellness Center. Third, service expansion and community health outreach: awards for school-based health center sites (September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2025), early childhood development (September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2025), Bridge Access Program (September 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024), and COVID-19 vaccination expansion (December 1, 2022, through December 31, 2023) support direct clinical delivery and preventive health programs across 40 school-based health center sites in Liberty City, Opa-Locka, Miami Gardens, and Hialeah.

JTCHS also serves as a subgrantee under prime awards from the University of South Florida and the University of Miami, with recent sub-awards focused on the Connecting Kids to Coverage outreach and enrollment cooperative agreement (November 2025, April 2024, November 2024 from USF; March 2025 and January 2024 from UM) and a clinical trials network award (March 2025 from UM). Across 34 total awards, JTCHS has obligated $571.4 million in combined federal funding. Activity has averaged 3 to 6 awards annually over the past five years, with only two awards carrying ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months, signaling limited recompete cliff exposure in the immediate pipeline. JTCHS does not hold federal contracts or IDVs; its federal footprint is grant-funded exclusively through HRSA and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
