Health Centers for Primary Health Care and Dental Services
2 min read
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 and substance abuse care
How do I find a health center?
You can find participating health centers in most cities and in many rural areas. Some locations may also provide education, translation, and transportation services. To search for a health center near you, visit http://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov.
