About Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC)

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Health Center Program, authorized by Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 254b), provides federal grant funding to community-based healthcare organizations designated as community health centers (CHCs) to improve the health of underserved and vulnerable populations.

CHC FQHCs play vital role as the healthcare “safety net” for underserved communities in Ventura County by providing high-quality, culturally competent, comprehensive primary and preventative healthcare services, promoting community health and well-being, and facilitating equitable access to care.

Eighteen (18) Ventura County Health Care Agency (VCHCA) primary care clinics operate under the CHC as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). In 2022, the VCHCA FQHCs provided care for approximately 95,000 patients over 348,000 clinic in-person and telehealth visits, including more than 5,600 patients experiencing homelessness.
