For many individuals and families, living in poverty can make accessing healthcare more difficult. Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) help reduce this barrier by providing affordable primary care services to underserved communities, regardless of a person's ability to pay or insurance status. The FQHC locations included on this map were obtained from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). By looking at these patterns, the map helps show whether FQHCs are located in communities with the greatest need and where opportunities may exist to improve access to affordable healthcare.
