Family Medicine provides a home for health care
Despite great advances in medical and surgical health care, the United States has struggled for decades with an unbalanced health care workforce. It has always been the goal of the SIU Department of Family and Community Medicine to address these issues with local programs and national leadership. The department’s Federally Qualified Health Center was established in October 2012. Through the FQHC clinics and programs, populations who have never received care have been reached, and people who have never had the comfort of effective health insurance have been insured.
