Community Builders Advisory Council: Lincoln Pehrson

Lincoln Pehrson has spent the past decade working in healthcare administration overseeing areas such as revenue cycle, grant writing, grant management, financial planning, contracts, budgeting, forecasting, and strategic analysis.

Lincoln is currently serving in the role of Chief Integration Officer with Axis Health System – a Federally Qualified Health Center – located in Southwest Colorado. Lincoln oversees all Community Health Center operations in Axis Health System’s five-county service area.

Lincoln has a passion for creating a true patient centered medical home environment for community members who face barriers in accessing care. Lincoln believes in an integrated care model where the whole person is treated, regardless of ability to pay, and there is no wrong door, whether someone needs primary care, oral health, or behavioral health services.

Lincoln’s experience in the non-profit world has provided him with valuable insight into the challenges within the state of Colorado – and throughout the nation – of the difficulty some organizations face in delivering services or carrying out their mission and vision without the appropriate capital and financial structure needed to create a sustainable model.
