A Federally Qualified Health Center is a community-based health care provider that receives federal funding to provide primary care services in underserved areas. FQHCs serve patients regardless of their ability to pay.

FQHCs provide comprehensive primary care services including preventive care, chronic disease management, prenatal care, pediatric services, behavioral health, and dental care. They operate on a sliding fee scale, meaning patients are charged based on their ability to pay.

FQHCs receive federal funding through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and must meet specific requirements for serving medically underserved populations. They are governed by community boards and are committed to serving all patients regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
