Health centers are community-based facilities that provide a range of medical services to individuals, regardless of their ability to pay. They focus on preventive care, treatment of illnesses, and management of chronic conditions. Health centers often serve underserved populations, ensuring access to essential health services.
These centers typically offer services such as routine check-ups, vaccinations, dental care, and mental health support. Many health centers are funded by government programs, like the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), to help improve health outcomes in local communities. They play a vital role in promoting overall public health and well-being.
