Wisconsin Primary Care Programs: Community Health Center Grants
The Wisconsin Primary Care Office also manages state grants to Federally Qualified Community Health Centers (FQHCs) and healthcare for the homeless centers. To be eligible for the state grants, these community-governed clinics must be located in a designated Medically Underserved Area/Population (MUA/MUP). Pursuant to Wis. Stat. 250.15, the Wisconsin Legislature has specified that $1,500,000 shall be awarded to Free and Charitable Clinics (FCCs) each fiscal year as well.
The FQHCs and FCCs are located throughout the state. They provide access to comprehensive primary care, dental care and mental health services to low-income, uninsured, and homeless populations in their rural or inner-city communities that have shortages of health professionals.
