Summary

Agape Network is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. It specializes in a comprehensive, integrated healthcare system that addresses the multifaceted health issues experienced by individuals and families today.

Located in Miami-Dade County, our facilities include a six-acre community health center with residential inpatient and outpatient services located in Allapattah, an eight-acre campus located on Old Cutler Road, and various on-site locations across the county.

AGAPE's success stems from one-of-a-kind integration of services to meet clients' Psychological, Social, Physical and Spiritual needs. AGAPE combines these four elements with the integration of technology to deliver consistent and continuous quality care.

Agape Network provides holistic, value-based quality care through a patient-centered medical home for a total wellness approach, incorporating treatment modalities that heal the body, mind and spirit. With highly experienced care teams of more than 150 staff members, including physicians, board certified addiction specialists (child and adult), psychiatrists, therapists, licensed clinical social workers, care managers, chaplains, intake team, advanced nurse practitioners, benefits eligibility determination specialists, registered dieticians and peer specialists, we are uniquely qualified to serve people with complex behavioral and physical healthcare needs.

Utilizing a treatment approach that addresses the whole person, we integrate behavioral health services, primary care services, and manage transitions of care across a broad range of healthcare continuums, hospitals, criminal justice systems, and community-based systems of care. Since 2008, we have followed the patient-centered medical health home model that coordinates care of individuals' overall wellness using a team-based clinical model that includes clients, providers, and family members in-home on-site.

Our integrated medical and behavioral health services provide a continuum of care for long term engagement and wellness. Agape Network's culture of innovation is driven by evidence-based data to continuously improve and deliver high-value, cost-conscious care with outcomes that demonstrate our ability to change lives by restoring individuals and families to psychological, social, physical, and spiritual health.

History

The story of Agape Network is one of diversity, need, determination, love, and faith. Founded by retired Commander of Miami Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation Chaplaincy, Jose E. Hernandez, D. Min., the organization was created to spread hope and transform the lives of those affected by crime and incarceration. It has grown to become a model of integrated behavioral healthcare and spiritual wellness.

The Cuban-born Rev. Hernandez was on a mission inspired by a higher power. It was 1981 and jails were overcrowded and overwhelmed due to the Mariel Boatlift. As a chaplain, Rev. Hernandez's passion for sharing the Good News of the Gospel and connecting people to faith, brought zeal to the correctional culture. Soon, the Reverend would pave a new path of leadership for the county, going from chaplain to the first-ever religious coordinator, and later, the first-ever commander. At one point, Rev. Hernandez oversaw six correctional facilities and more than 100,000 inmates annually. His innovative contributions included the Faith Works ReEntry Program, the development of a robust volunteer network and building a multi-faith chaplaincy program that honored diversity.

In 1983, the tragic story of a woman inmate dying at the hands of her former pimp just hours after being released served as the impetus for creating the Agape Network. At the time, the newly founded faith-based non-profit was one of the only organizations in the county to offer residential programs, transitional housing, and wrap-around services exclusively for women and their children.

Today, the Agape Network's dedication to women, children, and families runs in parallel with its robust jail ministry program. The organization's residential facility remains female but encompasses working with those impacted by substance use disorders and mental illness.

In 1992, Agape moved its headquarters to South Dade transforming a former nursing home into a nationally accredited and fully integrated community health center.

Through the years, Agape's supporters have included prominent figures from government, law enforcement, the courts, the faith community, and business leaders.
