So You Want to Start a Health Center
When considering the various health center model options, there are several questions to consider:
What is the community need regarding health status, access and barriers to care?
What is the likelihood of creating a patient-majority governing board of directors?
Can a comprehensive range of services be delivered?
Is the location in a qualifying federal shortage designation area?
Is the model financially sustainable?
For more information on the next steps on starting a health center,
see the directions
from National Association of Community Health Centers. If you have questions about starting a health center, please contact Patti Griggs at
