Which of the following is true about Federally Qualified Health Centers?

• A. They Include Migrant Health Centers
• B. They Are Exclusive to Urban Areas
• C. They Do Not Provide Preventive Care
• D. They Are Run Only by Private Entities

Answer: (A)

Federally Qualified Health Centers are community-based, federally funded providers that deliver comprehensive primary care and preventive services in underserved areas, with a mission to serve all patients regardless of ability to pay. Migrant Health Centers are one of the categories included in the FQHC network, which is why that statement is true. FQHCs are not limited to urban areas; they operate in both urban and rural settings to reach underserved populations. They do provide preventive care—immunizations, screenings, and early intervention for health issues—as part of their services. And they are not run only by private entities; they can be nonprofit or public organizations, including state or local government or tribal systems.
