Community Health Center
An ambulatory
health care program usually serving a catchment
area which has scarce or nonexistent health services
or a population with special health needs. These
centers attempt to coordinate federal, state, and
local resources in a single organization capable
of delivering both health and related social services
to a defined population. While such a center may
not directly provide all types of health care, it
usually takes responsibility to arrange all medical
services needed by its patient population. (Also
called neighborhood health center.) |
