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.

How many FQHCs are in California?

California has 214 Federally Qualified Health Centers serving millions of patients across the state. They employ tens of thousands of workers in roles ranging from medical assistants to physicians.

Do FQHCs offer loan repayment programs?

Yes, many FQHC employees qualify for the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program, which offers up to $50,000 in tax-free student loan repayment for a 2-year service commitment at an approved FQHC site.
