Affordable Healthcare
It is our goal to provide healthcare that is accessible and affordable

services based on household size and income.
Prescription Assistance Program: Provide assistance for qualifying patients
to receive free prescription drugs directly from the pharmaceutical companies.
Social and Financial Services
Social Services are available at FHC for established patients. We employ
financial counselors who work through a network of local and regional
agencies to find resources to assist patients with referrals to specialists,
prescriptions, medical equipment, home health, and other necessary services.

Community Health Needs Assessment
Demonstrating Community Need
As part of the Public Health Service Act, federally qualified health centers
(FQHCs) and FQHC Look-Alikes are required to complete a Community Health
Needs Assessment (CHNA) as stated under the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration’s
(HRSA) 19 Key Health Center Program Requirements. In 2022 and again in
2025, a CHNA was conducted for the Family Health Clinic in conjunction
with Medical Center Hospital. The CHNA report is a comprehensive assessment
of the identified health needs in Ector County, Texas.
The analyses include a careful review of the most current health data available,
demographics and input from numerous community representatives. The process
culminates in the development of an Implementation Plan to address the
significant needs identified through the CHNA. The CHNA and Implementation
Plan report was presented to and approved by the Family Health Clinic
Board on July 31, 2025. The Family Health Clinic will utilize its 2025
plan as a guide over the next three years to offer programs that support
the health of the community and the mission of the organization.
