Our Mission & History

In 1982, a group of Tallahassee’s civic leaders came together to create a quality, affordable health care system to meet the health needs of the community. Forty years later, Capital Health Plan has become a national health care leader. We started with 5,000 members and a network of 75 doctors. We’ve now grown to more than 135,000 members with a broad network of more doctors, hospitals and other health care providers throughout our service area.

A key component of CHP’s delivery system is its employed medical staff, who practice in three state-of-the-art health centers CHP has developed to serve its membership. These health centers are equipped with electronic medical records and can accommodate a broad range of preventive, primary, and specialty care services. These services include evening and weekend urgent care operations, lab, x-ray, digital mammography, ultrasounds, colon screening, eye care services, wound care, and our Nancy Van Vessem Center for Healthy Aging. CHP’s ability to offer this highly organized component of its delivery system provides unique opportunities for adding value. The staff model of CHP’s delivery system is the engine of our program, consistently driving better results on measures of clinical care, member satisfaction, and affordability.

As a not-for-profit HMO, we exist to improve the health of our communities by providing high quality, comprehensive health plans with low administrative costs, through primary care focused, patient-centered healthcare.
