Unity Health Care reaches people wherever they are to provide compassionate, comprehensive, high-quality health care that is accessible to all and advances health in Washington, DC. As the largest network of community health centers in the District of Columbia and one of the largest in the country, the Unity team of compassionate and multicultural health professionals places Unity values into action every day to bring whole-person care and wellness to nearly 80,000 patients through almost 300,000 visits annually through the network of over 27 traditional and non-traditional health sites and a mobile medical outreach vehicle. 59% of Unity patients have income below 100% of the federal poverty guideline, and 60% are on Medicaid.
Unity was founded in 1985 as Health Care for the Homeless Project (HCHP), providing primary health care services to homeless individuals and families residing in local emergency shelters or on the streets of the District of Columbia. In 1997, HCHP officially changed its name to Unity Health Care as services were expanded from not only serving people experiencing homelessness, but to providing primary and specialty care to all District residents.
In 2006, Unity developed and implemented the country's first comprehensive community-oriented correctional health care model. Since then, Unity has been the sole provider of comprehensive medical services to the Washington, DC Department of Corrections, providing medical and behavioral health services within Washington, DC jail facilities. It has been recognized as an innovative and quality correctional health care model. In May 2025, the District awarded Unity a five-year contract, which will enable this critical work through 2030.
Unity is one of nine Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in Washington, DC, whose leaders are closely connected through the DC Primary Care Association, an important organization focused on providing strategic thought partnership, advocacy, and technical assistance to member community health centers. The group convenes and collaborates often on several key issues that affect FQHCs and their patient populations. Unity is also a key member and leader of the DCPCA's Connected Care Network, which is comprised of seven FQHCs that have come together to form a clinically integrated network.

Washington, DC, is home to 679,000 individuals, boasts three medical schools, several nursing programs, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, along with equally compelling neighboring jurisdictions in Maryland and Virginia. A new hospital in Washington, DC's Ward 8 offers additional opportunities for partnership and impact. While the health care terrain is complex and constantly changing, there is space and room for innovation, piloting new models, and learning from a diverse set of local, passionate, and committed leaders in the region.
Unity is a teaching health center and is deeply committed to training the next generation of providers interested in working in community health centers and with underserved populations. Unity's Teaching Health Center includes a Family Medicine Residency and a Family Nurse Practitioner residency, which helps create a pipeline of providers poised to address the needs of medically vulnerable populations. Unity has been focused on increasing medical access and care in Wards 7 and 8 in Washington, DC-they prioritize where there is the most need.
Additionally, in 2025, Unity received funding from the Bedford Falls Foundation to fund a partnership to provide a pathway for medical assistants to attend nursing school and earn an RN degree. Unity will be partnering with Trinity University and other community partners to offer this opportunity to medical assistants. In 2023, the J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation committed dollars to establish The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation Behavioral Health Development Fund to support the growing behavioral health needs of adults, children, adolescents, and families.
Unity recognizes three unions and is negotiating three collective bargaining agreements for providers, environmental service workers, and nurses. The negotiations and ultimately working with these three unions are an important aspect of Unity and a reflection of their values and ethos as an organization.
Unity has an annual organizational budget of $146M and a talented and committed staff of 800.

The bakery is a vibrant place to gather, is a core element to the Dog Tag mission, and generates more than $1M of revenue each year. The certified nut-free, from-scratch facility is a beloved anchor in the neighborhood offering breakfast, lunch, catering, and order-by-mail, and sells products designed and brought to market by DTI fellows.
What differentiates the Dog Tag Fellowship Program is a powerful combination of resilience-focused curriculum, high-touch community-building, and experiential learning through hands-on training at the Bakery, an invaluable asset to DTI, the community, and the veterans, spouses, and caregivers involved in the program. Further, at the completion of the program, fellows receive a Certificate of Business Administration through the School of Continuing Studies at Georgetown University.
DTI is proud of our program results. Prior to the fellowship, 82% of Veterans feel unprepared to successfully navigate the transition from military life to civilian life. DTI has an 89% graduation rate, and 75% of Dog Tag fellows report greater access to new career paths, while 76% say the fellowship continues to positively impact their professional life.
