How can I verify licensing for Federally Qualified Health Centers in Palm Desert, CA?
CareListings sources provider information from California state licensing databases and public records. While our directory aims to include licensed facilities, licensing status can change frequently, and we cannot guarantee that every provider's license is currently active and in good standing. Federally Qualified Health Centers must be certified by the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and licensed by the state. Verify FQHC status through HRSA's Find a Health Center tool (findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov). Contact the California Department of Health for state licensing verification. FQHCs must meet stringent federal requirements including serving underserved populations, providing comprehensive services, having a patient-majority board, and offering services regardless of ability to pay. Ask the center for proof of their FQHC designation, state license, and any accreditation (many are accredited by The Joint Commission or AAAHC). Check that individual providers have current professional licenses.
