Community Health Centers

A Vital Part of our Healthcare System

Community health centers (CHCs), also known as federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), are 501(c)3 nonprofit clinics that provide primary and preventative healthcare to medically underserved areas in both rural and urban settings.

CHCs began as a means to alleviate pressure on emergency rooms seeing uninsured patients that could otherwise be served in a non-emergency clinic setting. CHCs provide a patient-centered model of healthcare delivery, offering comprehensive services to patients at each clinic.

CHCs are an excellent way for all patients to access comprehensive healthcare, oral healthcare, mental healthcare, and other services that help promote the health and wellbeing of patients.

Some community health centers even offer community programs like legal aid clinics, nutritional education, and more!

+

CHCs accept Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and provide a sliding scale fee to uninsured patients based on family size and income. CHC's often provide referral services and case management

CHCs provide diagnostic and basic radiology services, like x-rays as well as smoking cessation support and HIV testing.
