Health Care District of Palm Beach County Community Health Center in West Palm Beach, FL

The Health Care District of Palm Beach County community health Center is a key provider of primary healthcare services in Palm Beach County, Florida. It operates as part of the C.L. Brumback primary care Clinics, which are designated Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). This designation is crucial as it means the clinics receive federal funding to serve medically underserved areas and are required to provide comprehensive care to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. They offer a sliding fee scale based on household size and income, ensuring that low-income, uninsured, and underinsured residents have access to affordable healthcare. The center’s mission is to provide compassionate, comprehensive health services to all Palm Beach County residents in a culturally sensitive environment. This includes a wide array of services for both adults and children. For adults, services include yearly physicals, disease management for conditions like diabetes and hypertension, laboratory testing, women's health services, and mental health support. Pediatric services cover well-child and sick-child visits, immunizations, and school and sports physicals. In addition to medical care, the center provides comprehensive dental care for all ages, including preventive, diagnostic, and emergency services. It also houses an on-site pharmacy for patient convenience. The West Palm Beach location, specifically, offers adult and pediatric medical and dental care, behavioral health services, and pharmacy services. The clinic is committed to patient accessibility, offering same-day appointments, welcoming walk-ins, and providing multi-lingual staff and translation services for over 200 languages. This commitment extends to partnerships with other community organizations to address broader health and social needs. The Health Care District of Palm Beach County is a non-profit organization, and its clinics honor the legacy of the late Dr. Clarence L. “Carl” Brumback, a champion of public health and patient advocacy in the region.
