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.
