Short Abstract:

Each FQHC Look-Alike is expected to gain a thorough knowledge of the community and populations groups it intends to serve. In particular, the entity must assess and understand the needs, resources and priorities of the underserved populations residing in its community and design a health care program that is culturally and linguistically appropriate to those populations. Needs and resources should be monitored on an ongoing basis and comprehensively assessed on a periodic basis.
