About Community Health Centers

Community Health Centers (CHC) / Federally Qualified health Centers provide comprehensive primary and preventive medical, dental, and mental health care and either

(1) receive grants under the U.S. Public Health Service Act (i.e., Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Programs, Health Care for the Homeless Programs, Health Care in Public Housing Programs, Indian Tribal Health Centers, Urban Indian Centers) or

(2) do not receive federal PHSA grants, but meet the standards for funding.

They follow rigorous performance and accountability standards regarding clinical and administrative operations.

CHCs establish and utilize referral arrangements with community hospitals and other health care providers, including specialists, labs, therapists, and others. They also collaborate, when appropriate, with other organizations, including hopitals, clinics, schools, Head Start, WIC, Public Health District, Department of Health and Welfare, etc.

They incorporate health education, community outreach, and patient support programs in the clinical practice.

CHCs provide services on a sliding fee scale based on household size and income.
