What is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)?

An FQHC is a community-based healthcare provider that receives federal funding under the Health Center Program to provide primary care services in under-resourced areas. They serve all patients regardless of ability to pay and offer sliding fee scales based on income.

This directory covers 1,521 Federally Qualified Health Centers across 59 states and territories, with deep profiles for California and Texas and HRSA-sourced data for every other state. Together they operate 17,788+ service-delivery sites serving tens of millions of patients.

Can I sort and compare FQHCs by state, patients, or Medicaid mix?

The directory is sortable nationwide by patient volume, Medicaid and uninsured share, HRSA clinical quality score, sites, live job openings, resilience, and Glassdoor rating, and filterable by state, EHR system, and program.

Do FQHCs offer loan repayment programs?

Yes, many FQHC employees qualify for the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program, which offers tax-free student loan repayment for a service commitment at an approved FQHC site.
