What We Stand For

MISSION STATEMENT

The Mission/Vision of the Family Health Center of Southern Oklahoma is to offer affordable, high quality care to our patients through comprehensive services.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER?

Community Health Centers are providers of primary health care to medically under-served populations. Community Health Centers focus not only on improving the health of individual patients, but on improving the health status of the entire community. We are a public, non-profit organization that receives federal funding to provide these services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay.

WHO CAN USE A COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER?

Anyone can use a community health center. We file private insurances, Medicare, Medicaid, Soonercare, and most other insurances are accepted. However, for those with no insurances, a fee will be based on a sliding scale according to income.

LANGUAGE BARRIERS

Language barriers compromise the quality of health care for Limited English Proficient individuals. The clinic prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. FHCSO provides Limited English Proficient individuals equal and meaningful access to their services by providing language assistance at no cost to the individual. The clinic provides interpretation (verbal) and translation (written) services to all clinical programs and services, to facilitate communication between healthcare providers and LEP or deaf, deafened, or hard of hearing patients and their families.
