The availability and accessibility of primary health care services is essential to meet the needs of the state's population. Community Health Centers (CHCs) provide access to medical care for residents who are plagued by a shortage of medical services, financial restrictions, and other social or economic barriers. CHCs are federally-subsidized, non-profit corporations that must serve populations identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as medically underserved. This status indicates that the geographic area has limited medical resources; other factors include poverty and lack of health insurance. CHCs offer a range of services, including medical, dental, radiology, pharmacy, nutrition, health education, and transportation. Mississippi has 21 CHCs, with 207 sites, including school clinic locations.
