Celebrating our 14 year Journey: Alcar Health’s Commitment to Healthcare Access
November 21, 2024
By: Alex Carrillo, CEO, Alcar Health
As Alcar Health marks 14 years, I’m proud to reflect on how far we’ve come—and even more excited about where we’re headed. When I first started Alcar Health, it was out of necessity to be my own boss, make my own schedule, and make a good living. But over the years, that changed, and the mission became clear: to help people in a way that truly makes a difference. We now have the privilege of providing solutions to serve low-income communities like the ones I grew up in South Central LA and East LA. This firsthand experience drives how we develop and execute solutions that resonate deeply with our communities.
This vision has guided every decision and partnership we’ve formed and keeps me motivated through the evolving challenges in healthcare. We’ve expanded our services, refined our focus, and embraced new opportunities to support FQHCs in impactful ways. Alcar Health is not just a service provider—we’re subject matter experts, advocates, and partners, ensuring your organization has the right solutions customized to your needs.
Why Alcar Health Is Different
What sets Alcar Health apart is our team and the expertise we bring to every partnership. Our team comprises Latino healthcare leaders who have led FQHCs, tech founders, and entrepreneurs who faced the same challenges and know firsthand the daily pressures they deal with. We’re not just service providers but subject matter experts who develop and execute solutions grounded in real-world experience.
That’s why we approach each partnership with a focus on tailored strategies designed to address your organization’s unique challenges and goals. Our bilingual teams are skilled in Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, patient outreach, contact center augmentation, specialty services, and operational efficiency. We’re not just solving problems but driving solutions that build capacity, ensuring your organization is set up for long-term success.
A Partnership Built on Flexibility and Trust
One of the things I’m most proud of is the flexibility we offer to our partners. At Alcar Health, we don’t believe in rigid contracts or one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we collaborate with organizations that share our principles, building customized strategies that adapt as your needs evolve. Our commitment is to provide continuity and control—ensuring that your organization retains the insights and expertise it gains through every partnership.
For FQHCs, this means focusing on what you do best—providing excellent patient care—while we manage the complexities behind the scenes, from bilingual contact center support to patient engagement and specialty service expansion. We advocate on your behalf, helping you maintain operational excellence without increasing internal burdens.

Patient Engagement Optimization: We develop strategies to boost patient satisfaction and retention, ensuring patients feel supported and understood.

As we approach our 15th year, I couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead. Healthcare is evolving, and so isAlcar Health. We’re constantly innovating to support FQHCs in enhancing patient outcomes and expanding access to care.
