How do I find Community Health Centers in other parts of the U.S.?
Visit this website http://ask.hrsa.gov/pc/ and search by zip code, state, or city/state.
Are you a free clinic?
We are not a free clinic, however, we do provide health care on a sliding
fee scale based on family size and household income. Clients are asked
to pay what they can, when they can. We will not send your bill to a
collections agency. There are also some programs that pay for certain
services. We want you to get the health care you need, so if you have
concerns about payment, please contact us.
Are all of the doctors volunteers?
No, we employ highly qualified professional physicians and
family nurse practitioners who are able to provide continuity
of care to our clients. We also have some volunteer physicians
who offer specific services and make it possible for us to
serve more people. Click here for more
information on our staff.
What if I need information from my medical records?
The staff at the Health Center is able to complete physical
forms and immunization records in about 10 days. Please bring
the form to your primary care provider. If you had a physical
within one year, the form will be completed and ready for
pick-up within 10 days at the reception desk, unless we contact
you to obtain more information. If you have not had a physical
within one year, you can schedule an appointment and bring
the form with you for completion.
What about test results?
If your test results are normal, you will receive a letter in the mail
with the results. A provider or nurse will contact you if your test
results need follow up treatment. If you are uncertain about your test
results you can always call our office. At this time you must provide
your client id number or your name, birthday, and social security number.
Let the receptionist know what test results you are looking for and
on what date you had taken the test. If a nurse is available, she/he
can give you your results. Otherwise, we will have the nurse give you
a call back with your results as soon as possible.
What if I need a referral?
You must see one of our providers and if they determine that you need
a referral, you will be given one. There are some programs that pay
for specialty care. Our social workers can help you apply for financial
assistance to cover the costs of specialty care that you may need.
Is my medical information private and confidential?
Your medical information is private and confidential. For more details click here to see our Privacy Notice.
