About Family Health Centers of Baltimore (FHCB)
(Formerly South Baltimore Family Health Center)
MISSION
Family Health Centers of Baltimore is non-profit federally qualified health
centers committed to preserving human life. We provide comprehensive primary
health care services to medically underserved and uninsured persons residing in
the Baltimore metropolitan area in an economic manner, consistent with high
professional standards and sensitive to the community.
VISION
We have established an integrated program of services to meet the needs of the
distinct geographic and cultural communities that comprise Baltimore City. FHCB
is committed to 100% access to care for the people we serve. Our goal is to
eliminate health disparities in Baltimore City. We believe that it is our
responsibility to expand our health services continually to encompass specialty
services for adolescents, young parents and their families, mature adults and
the elderly.
FHCB
Family Health Centers of Baltimore, Inc. (FHCB) is a not-for profit
501(C)(3) corporation, founded in 1977. FHCB provides the broadest range of
primary care services at the lowest cost to consumers. To assure access and
convenience for consumers, a community based one-stop shop is the model of care
delivery that characterizes our approach.
Primary care services include pediatrics, family medicine, internal medicine,
diabetes education, and nutrition counseling. OB/GYN, dental services,
podiatry, pharmacy and mental health services are provided on-site. An
addictions service staff consisting of an addictions psychiatrist, certified
addictions counselors, and an outreach worker, provides outpatient
detoxification services. This program makes it possible for uninsured and low
income working people to become drug free, and still maintain their jobs. For
non-English speaking patients, translation services are available from the
AT&T language line.
The FHCB philosophy promotes inclusiveness and community economic
revitalization. The facilities are frequently used to hold community open
forums and community organizational meetings. Internal and external assessments
of the changing needs of the patients we serve and the community are conducted
annually as a part of strategic planning to assure that customer service and
the care we provide are of the highest quality, attuned to community needs, and
that fees match ability to pay.
