Our Mission
To promote and support patient-governed community health care organizations and the populations they serve.
Our Vision
Every North Carolina community will have access to a patient-centered, patient-governed, culturally competent health care home that integrates high quality medical, pharmacy, dental, vision, behavioral health, and enabling services without regard to a person’s ability to pay.
What is a Community Health Center?
Community health centers (CHCs)–also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)—represent a critical source of primary care for individuals nationwide. Health centers provide prevention, treatment, and disease management delivered in family-centered, patient-governed medical homes using the most advanced care practices and without regard to a patient’s ability to pay.
As of 2009, there were 26 FQHCs and two look-alikes in North Carolina representing 137 clinical sites. The services provided by North Carolina’s FQHCS vary, but most health centers provide a range of primary medical, dental, behavioral health and enabling services, such as transportation or interpretive services. In 2009, North Carolina’s FQHCs served over 400,000 patients, approximately 94% of who live below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. North Carolina’s health centers were able to bring nearly $53 million in federal funds to the state and provide cost-efficient, high-quality care to North Carolina’s residents.
