What it means to be a Federally Qualified Health Center

Union Community Care is part of a larger movement of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), which are community-based, non-profit organizations that provide a full range of primary and preventive healthcare to their communities.

FQHCs are created by individuals in a community coming together with a mission to improve access to healthcare for those who are looking for a health home, those who don’t have health insurance, those who are under-insured, and those who are under-resourced, medically underserved and vulnerable. Every FQHC is different, but they all care for patients in a hyper-local, culturally-welcoming, and free-to-be setting.

FQHCs are vital resources in any community, and uniquely offer discounted rates or fees for medical and preventive dental services, 340B program savings on medications, and good faith estimates.
