What is a Community Health Center? Health centers provide high-quality preventive and primary health care to medically underserved and uninsured people. Approximately 1 in 12 people in the U.S. relies on a HRSA-funded health center for medical care.

Nearly 1,400 health centers operate approximately 12,000 service delivery sites in the U.S. These health centers employ more than 170,000 staff who provide care for nearly 27 million patients. For millions of Americans, including some of the most vulnerable individuals and families, health centers are the essential medical home where they find services that promote health, diagnose and treat disease and disability and help them cope with environmental challenges that put them at risk.
