About community health centers in Columbus

Community health centers - federally qualified health centers and look-alike sites - deliver primary and preventive care in underserved areas, generally without regard to a patient's ability to pay. HRSA lists these service-delivery sites but publishes no CMS star ratings or inspection data.

When comparing health centers, verify which services are offered, the sliding-fee or insurance options, the hours, and how to become a patient. Because HRSA publishes no CMS quality rating for these sites, confirm the details directly with the center. For local alternatives, browse the Community Health Centers directory for Columbus, the Polk County community health centers list, or all care types in Columbus.

For context, this directory lists 4 community health centers in Columbus; 5 across Polk County; 4 in ZIP 28722.
