About Us

Driven by a shared passion for affecting lasting change, the students and faculty of the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education work tirelessly in the pursuit of an equitable, healthy future for all. Turning theory and research into actionable practice, we develop interventions and innovations that promote health, prevent disease, and empower people to manage chronic illness and disabilities. Together, our academic community transforms the theoretical into the actionable, the science into the social, applying our knowledge to eliminate health disparities and impact lives for the better. 

Beginning with our first location, which opened in Inkster in 2006, Western Wayne Family Health Centers (WWFHC) were the first federally-qualified health centers (FQHC) in the out Wayne County area. We have since added locations in Taylor, Lincoln Park, and Dearborn.

WWFHC’s holistic approach means that we’re certified as a Patient-Centered Medical Home, and we offer an integrated, coordinated healthcare experience for all of your family’s needs, from birth through senior citizens. Each of our convenient locations provides comprehensive medical, dental, and behavioral health services. 

Our community healthcare centers help over 20,000 patients each year, and we often have same-day and walk-in appointments available. We’re always accepting new patients for our medical and dental services, so give us a call to make an appointment today!
