What is a health center?

A health center is a community-based facility that provides comprehensive primary health care services, often focusing on underserved populations. These centers typically offer medical, dental, behavioral health, and preventive services regardless of a patient's ability to pay. Health centers aim to improve community health by offering accessible, affordable care and may also provide support services like health education and outreach. They are often funded by government programs and serve as a vital resource for individuals who have limited access to traditional healthcare.
