FQHC Look-Alikes

FQHC Look-Alikes are clinics that provide services similar to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) but do not receive federal funding directly. They meet strict standards for quality, accessibility, and community benefit, offering comprehensive primary care, preventive services, and support regardless of patients’ ability to pay. While they operate independently of federal funding, they often collaborate with FQHCs, sharing best practices, and may qualify for some federal programs. This designation helps ensure that underserved communities continue to have access to high-quality, affordable healthcare options.
