Unity Health Care Taking over Two Ascension-Run D.C. Primary Care Practices
Ascension's $7 million grant supports Unity Health Care's expanded services and integration of two primary care sites, serving over 90,000 District residents.
- On Feb. 19, 2026, Ascension Providence Health Services, Inc. transferred primary care practices to Unity Health Care and endowed a $7 million grant, Ascension said.
- The move aims to strengthen the District of Columbia's primary and specialty care infrastructure, with Ascension framing the partnership as part of its community commitment, and Beau Higginbotham emphasizing the transition reflects Providence’s enduring dedication to community health.
- Unity will operate the practices, assuming Providence's lease obligations to ensure continuity of care across Wards 5 and 6, while managing nearly 30 traditional and non-traditional sites plus a mobile outreach vehicle.
- Ascension patients will gain access to coordinated medical, dental, and behavioral health services plus transportation and housing assistance, while Rashad A. Collins said it supports continuity and sustainability.
- At scale, Ascension's national network includes 97,000 associates and 23,100 aligned providers, while in FY2025 it provided $1.7 billion in poverty care and $1.8 billion in unreimbursed Medicare services.
