Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), formerly the Philadelphia Health Management Corporation, is a non-profit public health institute that builds healthier communities through partnerships with government, foundations, businesses and community-based organizations. It fulfills its mission to improve the health of the community by providing outreach, health promotion, education, research, planning, technical assistance, and direct services. PHMC has served the Greater Philadelphia region since 1972 as a facilitator, developer, intermediary, manager, advocate and innovator in the field of public health. With over 1200 employees, 220 programs, nine subsidiaries--including one in Chester County, one with programs throughout Pennsylvania, and another nationwide--70 sites and 20,000 clients served annually, PHMC has become one of the largest and most comprehensive public health organizations in the nation.

In addition to running its own programs, PHMC is the parent company to nine smaller nonprofits, called PHMC Affiliates. PHMC and its affiliates offer a broad array of programs spanning behavioral health/recovery, nurse-managed primary care, chronic disease management and prevention, tobacco control, obesity prevention, early intervention, HIV/AIDS, violence intervention, homeless health services, parenting supports for families, and much more, plus the research and evaluation that allow us to assess and target health issues effectively.

Combining the mission-driven perspective of a non-profit with the fiscal control and management capabilities of a rigorous corporate structure make PHMC a leading nonprofit provider of public health resources that has been helping to build healthy communities in the Delaware Valley for more than thirty-six years.

PHMC's Research and Evaluation (R&E) component offers a broad range of services related to health services research, evaluation and assessment. The services we provide include:

• Data base development


• Data collection including telephone, mail, and in-person surveys, existing records review, focus groups, key informant interviews and observational study design and program implementation


• Data analysis, report writing, proposal development and writing

The program areas and population groups we study reflect a broad-based public health interest and perspective. The scope of projects include health status, access to care, HIV/AIDS prevention, maternal and child health, family and youth violence, tobacco use and substance abuse, adolescent health/sexuality, and gerontology.
