What do Federal Public Health Clinics/Centers do?

Federal public health centers, also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), provide comprehensive primary, dental, and mental health care to medically underserved communities, focusing on patients regardless of their ability to pay. 

These community-based centers offer essential services, including preventive care, immunizations, and specialized programs for groups such as those experiencing homelessness, often on a sliding fee scale based on income. 

Key Services Provided

Comprehensive Primary Care: Medical services, preventive care, and routine check-ups for all ages. 

Dental Services: Essential dental care for children, teens, and adults. 

Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services: Support for behavioral health and substance use treatment. 

Specialized Programs: Targeted services, including women’s health, Health Care for the Homeless programs, and opioid treatment programs. 

Other Services: Some centers offer additional services, such as transportation, vision care, and care coordination, to help patients access and manage their health needs. 

Who They Serve

Underserved Populations: FQHCs are located in areas with limited access to healthcare, serving populations with low incomes, rural communities, and those facing socioeconomic disadvantages. 

All Patients: Services are provided to everyone, with fees often adjusted on a sliding scale based on a patient’s ability to pay. 

How They Operate

Affordable and High-Quality Care: They are committed to providing high-quality, affordable healthcare services to all, including those without insurance or with limited coverage. 

Community-Based and Patient-Directed: They are rooted in their communities and governed by a board with a majority of patients. 

Collaborative Approach: FQHCs work with other providers, programs, and community organizations to improve access to care.
