The Health Center Program can provide primary health care and dental services if you have a difficult time paying for health care. In particular, you may be able to get health care at a health center if you have limited income, have no insurance, have limited English language skills, are a migrant or seasonal farm worker, are experiencing homelessness, or are living in public housing.

You may have to pay a fee for the services. The amount you pay depends on your income and is determined based on a sliding fee discount. Services you can get at the health centers may include:

• Regular checkups
• Treatment when you are sick
• Complete health care for pregnant women
• Immunizations and checkups for children
• Dental care
• Prescription drugs
• Mental health care and substance abuse care
