Federally Qualified Health Centers
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are community-based healthcare providers that offer comprehensive services, regardless of patients' ability to pay. They receive federal funding to improve access to care, particularly for underserved populations. FQHCs provide services like primary care, dental care, mental health support, and preventive care. They are designed to serve low-income individuals, the uninsured, and those living in rural or underserved urban areas, ensuring everyone has access to essential health services. FQHCs focus on patient-centered care and community involvement to improve health outcomes in their regions.
