The changing landscape of California’s Federally Qualified Health Centers California health care almanac (California HealthCare Foundation). Regional market series Newman, Matthew, author. Paci, James, author. Davis, Caroline, author. Finoccio, Len, author. Yegian, Jill, author. Connolly, Katrina, author. Community Health Centers Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are public or nonprofit clinics that care for patients regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. FQHCs are as diverse as they are widespread and are integral to the state’s safety-net provider landscape. Many FQHCs experienced rapid growth in the period immediately following the implementation of the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014. In the post-ACA period, FQHCs have continued to add patients and clinic sites at a rapid pace in regions throughout the state, and many health centers have increased offerings of specialty services and care for elderly patients. This report, part of the California Health Care Foundation’s Regional Markets Study series, examines the changing FQHC landscape, focusing on emerging trends and regional differences in FQHCs across the state.
