Neighborhood 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 community health center.) |
