Company Analysis and Evaluation Project A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) is a health center that allows patient who might otherwise not receive the critical primary care that they may need. These types of facilities help to fill crucial access gaps, allowing patient to pay according to their income on a sliding fee scale. “Congress passed FQHC-enabling legislation as part of the Social Security Act in 1989 and the application process and requirements for federal qualifications are governed under the Public Health Service Act” (Hennessy, 2013). There are approximately 1,200 main health centers that deliver care with over 8,000 service sites all across the United States. An FQHC provides primary care services to patients within the rural areas and are located within schools across America. This special care is allowing children to receive the wellness care to help them stay and improve in school. In reflection of this type of facility, this assignment will be about Capital City Family Health Center. A FQHC center in the heart of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Taking care of the patients that they have and also providing services to the homeless throughout the metropolitan and surroundings.
