What is a Community Health Center?
Funded by HRSA’s Bureau of Primary Health Care, Community Health Centers are mostly non-profit organizations operating in urban, metropolitan, and remote areas. They provide preventative care, dental, mental health, substance abuse, and enabling services regardless of one’s ability to pay, with sliding fee discounts based on income.
By integrating these services, Health Centers (FQHC) play a crucial role in improving health outcomes and addressing health disparities. All Health Centers (FQHC) must meet strict federal standards for quality and patient satisfaction.

What is the Difference Between a Community Health Center and a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)?
A HRSA-designated Health Center is an organization approved or recognized by HRSA under the federal Health Center Program based on mission, governance, access, and service requirements; an FQHC is a CMS reimbursement designation that allows eligible Health Center sites to receive Medicare and Medicaid payment as Federally Qualified Health Centers.
