WHAT
WE DO...
The
Community Health Center Board is appointed by the Human
Services Committee to 2 year terms. The Community
Health Center Board will assist the Ingham County Board of
Commissioners and the Ingham County Health Department,
to implement health services for Ingham County residents
through a network of community health centers operated by
the Health Department. These services represent a
significant effort by the County to assure that low-income
Ingham County residents have access to an organized system
of health care, and to assure that County residents have
adequate access to categorical public health programs and
services, including family planning, sexually transmitted
diseases diagnosis and treatment, breast and cervical cancer
control, and immunizations. The Community Health Center
Board, the Board of Commissioners and the Health Department
shall be particularly committed to meeting the health care
needs of at-risk populations, including women during the
child-bearing years, children, minorities and other
underserved populations.
The Community
Health Center Board shall participate in the planning of and
serve as a co-applicant for a grant application to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources
and Services Administration, Bureau of Primary Health Care,
under Section 330 of the Public Health Services Act for
operation of a Federally Qualified Health Center and for
application for operation of a Federally Qualified Health
Center Look-Alike Entity. The Community Health Center Board
shall monitor the Health Department's implementation of the
Grant, if applicable.
