Funded Programs
Health programs funded include:
- Community Health Centers which serve a variety of Federally designated Medically Underserved Area/Populations (MUA or MUP).
- Migrant Health Centers which provide culturally-competent and primary preventive medical care to migrant and seasonal agricultural workers,
- Health Care for the Homeless Programs which reach out to homeless individuals and families and provide primary and preventive care and substance abuse services, and
- Public Housing Primary Care Programs that serve residents of public housing and are located in or adjacent to the communities they serve.
FQHCs are community-based organizations that provide comprehensive primary care and preventive care, including health, oral, and mental health/substance abuse services to persons of all ages, regardless of their ability to pay or health insurance status. Thus, they are a critical component of the health care safety net. FQHCs are called Community/Migrant Health Centers (C/MHC), Community Health Centers (CHC), and 330 Funded Clinics.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
