About Us
Family Health Centers, Inc. (FHC) is a non-profit
corporation, established by the Louisville-Jefferson County Board of Health in
1976, to assure that residents of the Louisville Metro area have access to high
quality primary and preventive health services, regardless of ability-to-pay.
Services are provided to more than 43,000 patients annually, through seven
Family Health Centers sites.
FHC provides comprehensive primary and preventive health
services including: physician, nurse practitioner, dental, nurse, lab, x-ray,
pharmacy, obstetrics, child and adult medicine as well as specialty and
inpatient referral and follow-up. The medical staff includes more than 40
physicians and nurse practitioners who specialize in Family Medicine, Internal
Medicine, Pediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Additional services include behavioral health, health
education, case management services and transportation assistance. Interpretive
services are provided to non-English speaking patients, and many materials are
translated into foreign languages.
FHC bills Passport, Medicaid and Medicare as well as
private insurance for patients with coverage. Patients who are not covered
by public or private insurance will be charged on a
Sliding Fee Scale which takes into account the family’s size and
income level.
FHC relies on funding from the federal Community Health
Centers and Health Care for the Homeless programs and from Louisville Metro
government to help cover the cost of services provided to the uninsured.
FHC is a member of the
National Association of Community Health Centers, the
Kentucky Primary Care Association and the Louisville Primary Care
Association. FHC’s clinics and laboratories are accredited by the
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
Continuously accredited since 1979, FHC is the second longest JCAHO-accredited
Community Health Center in the nation

contributions of Community, Migrant, Homeless and Public Housing Health Centers
in providing access to affordable, high quality, cost-effective health care to
medically vulnerable and underserved people in the U.S. This year's
commemoration is special because 2010 also marks the 45th Anniversary of the
