community health centers
Community health centers are local healthcare facilities that provide a range of medical services to underserved populations. They focus on offering affordable care, including primary care, dental services, and mental health support, regardless of a patient's ability to pay. These centers aim to improve overall community health and reduce health disparities.
These centers often receive funding from government programs, such as the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), to ensure they can serve low-income individuals and families. By providing accessible healthcare, community health centers play a vital role in promoting wellness and preventing illness in their communities.
