A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) is a community-based provider funded by the federal government through HRSA to deliver primary care in underserved areas. FQHCs improve access to comprehensive health services regardless of ability to pay, serving low-income, uninsured, and homeless populations. They offer medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and preventive care. Operating under a patient-centered model with sliding fees based on income, they have a governing board that is mostly composed of patients, ensuring the care remains community-focused.
