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.
