Affordable Healthcare for All
As a federally qualified health center (FQHC), we are part of a nationwide network of nonprofit community health centers (CHCs) that provide affordable, comprehensive health services to at-risk populations.
Our Impact
CHCs serve as the primary healthcare safety net for over 24 million patients through more than 1,300 health centers operating at over 9,000 locations across America. We extend far beyond traditional primary care, offering comprehensive supportive services that address the broader health needs of our communities.
What Makes Us Different
To receive federal grant funding through HRSA’s Bureau of Primary Healthcare, CHCs must meet 19 rigorous program requirements that ensure we serve our communities effectively. Our core commitments include:
- Universal access – Services available to all, regardless of ability to pay
- Sliding fee programs – Costs adjusted based on individual financial circumstances
- Community governance – Patient-majority governing boards ensure community voice in decisions
- Comprehensive care – Medical, oral, mental health, behavioral health, substance abuse, and pharmacy services for all ages
- Enabling services – Transportation, translation, outreach, health education, eligibility assistance, and case management to remove barriers to care
- Quality assurance – Ongoing programs to ensure high-quality, evidence-based care
- Nonprofit mission – Community benefit over profit
