Company Description

Started in 2000 by a group of committed volunteers, Charlotte Community Health Clinic is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that offers high-quality medical, dental, and behavioral health services for children and adults. 

Although we serve all populations, as a FQHC, we have a special purpose of serving the underserved. We work towards a healthy community where all individuals, regardless of ability to pay, have access to affordable, quality, and comprehensive health care. We accept most major health insurance plans, as well as Medicaid and Medicare. For patients without health insurance, we offer a discount program based on income and family size. 

Our organization is growing! At present, we have three standalone sites as well as additional satellite locations. We are thrilled about the expansion of care that our growth allows us to provide. Our goal is to recruit, develop, and retain a team that not only meets the minimum job qualifications, but shares our passion for serving those who need it most.
