slide10. Four Core Elements FQHC or FQHC – Look alike<br>
slide11. 1. Reach Medically Underserved Communities Impact: CHCs serve populations who otherwise would not get the care they need; CHCs see publicly insured and uninsured patients in areas where there is a lack of providers and/or providers willing to see this population.<br>
slide12. 2. Governing with Community Involvement Impact: CHCs reflect the needs of the communities they serve.<br>
slide13. 3. Treat Patients Regardless of Ability to Pay Impact: Community Health Centers (CHCs) are the primary care safety net for the uninsured.<br>
slide14. 4. Provide a Comprehensive Scope of Services Impact: No other model of primary health care service delivery offers more services in one location or targets more special populations through one model of care.
» Reduce/eliminate health disparities.
