Abstract
Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) receive federal funding to serve medically
underserved areas and provide a range of services including comprehensive primary care,
enabling services, and behavioral health care. Greater funding for FQHCs could increase
the local availability of clinic-based care and help reduce more costly resource use, such as
emergency department visits (ED).
