Faith Family Medical Center

Programs: See schedule o. Faith family medical center provides services in family medicine, behavioral health, diagnostic lab testing, wellness program and individual and/or family counseling. In order to provide comprehensive health care services to patients, the organization has an extensive network of specialist physicians who see our patients at a reduced cost or no cost. We also have relationships with imaging centers where basic x-rays, ct scans and mris can be done for a reduced fee. Specialty care is available through physicians who volunteer at the center for internal medicine, orthopedics, cardiology, ophthalmology, optometry, gynecology and dermatology and a physical therapist. We have strong relationships with area hospital systems and other health care nonprofits. Free mammograms are offered regularly onsite via a mobile mammography unit. Patients pay between 20 and 55 based on their income and number of dependents. Patient fees cover only a small portion of our yearly budget; the balance is provided by grants and private donations from caring individuals, foundations, churches and businesses. To be eligible for treatment, individuals must be either working at least 20 hours per week, be dependent on a family member who works, be receiving unemployment benefits, or be a full-time student; and either has no health insurance, or who is now insured, but cannot afford the co-pay, coinsurance and/or deductible expenses. During 2017, faith family medical center provided care to approximately 2,900 patients - over 896 of these were new patients. The number of approximate visits to each part of our program was 6,638 medical visits and 330 counseling sessions and 1,519 wellness education encounters for a grand total of 9,025.
