Renewing Minds. Transforming Lives.

Who we are

Advance Health and Community Services
ADVANCE HEALTH
AND COMMUNITY SERVICES (AHCS)
Founded in 2014 by Rodney Prat, B.S.N., Advance Health & Community Services (AHCS) was built on a simple belief: everyone deserves access to high-quality, compassionate behavioral health care. After years in South Florida’s healthcare system, Rodney saw a gap—too many people were struggling without adequate support. AHCS was created to close that gap.
Today, AHCS serves individuals and families across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties with both community-based and office-based care. We help people whose daily lives are impacted by mental or behavioral health challenges—and we extend that support to their families, so no one has to face these struggles alone.
Advance Health and Community Services

Program Mission

Our mission is to empower individuals to live meaningful, self-directed lives. We do this by providing access to a full range of behavioral health services, tailored to meet changing needs over time. By focusing on care, dignity, and opportunity, we aim to:

  • Reduce unnecessary hospitalization, institutionalization, or incarceration
  • Strengthen family and community connections
  • Enhance quality of life for every person we serve

Our Vision

We envision a South Florida where children, adolescents, adults, and families can always find quality behavioral health services in their community. Through partnerships with both public and private sectors, AHCS strives to raise the standard of care while protecting and uplifting our most vulnerable neighbors.

Our Philosophy

We believe independence is the foundation of wellness. By giving individuals and families a voice in their own care, we help them build the skills, confidence, and support systems needed to thrive.

Our Core Values

We believe that communities will embrace individuals who are seeking to regain their independence and aid in their journeys and assist with educational and emotional support.  Our organizational framework allows us to help these individuals in regaining their independence and to help them to better cope with their behavioral health issues in accordance with national best practices.

We believe that individuals served by our agency should be treated no differently than any other and that they should have the best that life has to offer in all aspects of their social, emotional, physical, educational, cultural, and spiritual development.
