What is a
Federally Qualified Health Center?

Federally qualified health centers, commonly referred to as community health centers, are community-based health care providers that receive federal funds to provide primary services in underserved areas. They must meet a stringent set of requirements, including providing care on a sliding fee scale based on ability to pay and operating under a governing board that includes patients. They offer primary medical care, dental, and a variety of other medical, behavioral services based on the community they reside in, and the needs of those being served.

Center for Family Health is honored to be a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) since 2000. As an FQHC, we are held to the highest standard of regulations under the federal government.

We invite you to learn more about community health centers and the work we do. For additional information on Federally Qualified Health Centers, see What Is a Health Center?
