The La Pine Community Health Center is committed to improving the health of the community.
To achieve good community health, services must strongly emphasize prevention, early intervention, rehabilitation and education, in addition to direct care.
Community Health Centers that receive federal funding through the Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS, are also called "Federally Qualified Health Centers." Today, there are more than 4,000 federally-supported service delivery sites. Through the years, health centers have built an impressive track record delivering high quality prevention and primary care to millions of residents in inner cities and isolated rural areas.
In 2002, President Bush launched the Health Centers Initiative to significantly increase access to primary health care services in 1,200 communities through new or expanded health center sites.
