'Established in 1971 by Moses L. Walker and his team, the Family Health Center (FHC) is a leading source of superior and empathetic healthcare provision in our community. Beginning from humble origins inside a makeshift trailer, we now operate out of an advanced $10 million facility situated on the original plot on the intersection of Paterson and Burdick Streets. We are recognized as the county’s only Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and maintain accreditation as a community-based health center by the National Committee for Quality Assurance for over ten years. From a modest team of community volunteers and healthcare professionals, we've grown over the past 53 years into one of Michigan’s most recognized FQHCs. Our multi-functional team offers a wide range of health services at three separate locations, supplemented by additional mobile health and dental units. With approximately 165,000 patient visits handled annually, we continue our pledge to serve the Kalamazoo community diligently. At FHC, we value community participation and conduct several annual events, such as the Dr. Lisandra Soto Dental Day of Giving and the Back to School Bash. We also offer Medical Assistant training programs for community members wishing to advance their career in health care. Our compassionate staff is a significant cornerstone of our organization, and we value their unwavering commitment to maintaining Mr. Walker’s vision to fortify the health of our community. As we persist in our mission of inclusive, quality healthcare, we remain rooted in our promise to treat each patient with dignity and respect.'
