Federally Qualified Health Centers

Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) deliver health care to people of all ages and families in underserved urban and rural communities, regardless of income.
FQHCs are funded under the federal Public Health Service Act to provide comprehensive health care, including well-visit checkups, treatment when sick, pre-natal care, immunizations, dental care, prescription drugs, and mental health and substance abuse services.
Payment is based on a sliding fee scale.
Individuals and families without health insurance or those with Medicare or Medicaid also may receive care.
More than 200 FQHC sites in cities and rural areas of Pennsylvania, in 44 of our 67 counties, are providing care for nearly 700,000 Pennsylvanians.
