At your Service Every Day
Our Primary Care Practitioners provide high quality, comprehensive medical care and treatment to a diverse safety-net patient population in a patient-centered, team-based model with an emphasis on the prevention of disease, promotion of health, and management of chronic disease. The clinical team includes certified medical assistants, RN care coordinators, clinical pharmacists, health navigators, and behavioral health consultants.
To allow the time to deliver high quality care to patients with complex needs, our practitioners manage panels between 700 and 1,200 patients and see about 14 patients per day. After-hours call is shared among the full primary care group and supported by a nurse triage line that manages the vast majority of after-hours requests. Our providers have the option of teaching medical residents from several organizations as well as medical students from the local medical school.
The CHC opened as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in 2004. It is the medical home for over 9,000 patients across five clinics and two counties.
The CHC provides physical, behavioral, dental care, and medical treatment for substance use disorders. The CHC works closely with Benton County Public Health, County Mental Health programs, and school districts at our two school-based sites.
The CHC utilizes the clinical team to support patients in accessing health. We are committed to improving health outcomes through a medical home model with a strong focus on prevention and disease management. The CHC sites are all Patient Center Primary Care Home (PCPCH) certified at a high level. Our organization serves communities with Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) ratings between 10 and 13 (https://data.hrsa.gov/tools/shortage-area/hpsa-find) and qualifies for National Health Scholars, National Health Service Corps and other Loan Repayment Programs.
