Mission and Initiatives

Our Mission

We provide a medical home that promotes and supports health and wellness. We accomplish this by:

• Bringing together medical, dental, mental health services and addiction services
• Offering care that is inclusive and available to anyone regardless of insurance status, economic status, language, age or health status
• Providing services at clinic locations in Benton and Linn Counties
• Working together with patients/consumers/clients to have them involved in decisions and actions to improve their health
• Coordinating community partnerships to provide a broader range of services than can be offered by the health center alone
• Intentionally committing to being a leader in changing health care delivery by modeling an integrated health home that provides access to quality care
