Awards and Designations
Since 1986, One Community Health has worked to provide a level of care that’s well beyond the status quo. We are proud to have received many awards and important recognition over the years.
A Federally Qualified Health Center
One Community Health is a Federally Qualified Health Center which means that we receive funds from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Health Center Program to provide comprehensive primary care services in underserved areas. As such, we must meet a stringent set of requirements, including providing care on a sliding fee scale based on the ability to pay and operating under a governing board that includes patients.

The National Health Service Corps builds healthy communities by connecting providers to underserved areas with limited access to care.
