Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are community-based healthcare organizations that provide comprehensive medical services to underserved populations, regardless of their ability to pay. They receive federal funding to ensure access to care, including primary health, dental, and mental health services. FQHCs focus on preventive care and often serve rural and low-income communities, offering a sliding fee scale based on income. By addressing health disparities, FQHCs play a crucial role in improving overall health outcomes for many individuals and families across the United States.
