Community and Migrant Health Centers

Community and Migrant Health Centers (CHCs and MHCs) are healthcare facilities that provide comprehensive primary care services, especially to underserved populations such as low-income families, rural communities, and migrant workers. They focus on preventive care, treatment, and health education, often offering sliding fee scales based on income. These centers aim to improve access to quality healthcare, address health disparities, and promote community well-being regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. Funded mainly by federal programs, they serve as vital safety nets for communities with limited healthcare resources.
