Family Health Earns Community Health Center Quality Recognition Badges

Family Health, the primary care division of the Mobile County Health Department, has been awarded three Community Health Center Quality Recognition (CHCQR) badges from the Health Resources & Services Administration. Of the 17 Federally Qualified Health Centers in Alabama, Family Health is one of six to receive at least three or more badges. CHCQR badges recognize program awardees that have made notable achievements in the areas of access, quality, health equity, health IT, social risk factors screening and COVID-19 public health emergency response. Family Health received its badges for: being a primary care medical home, advancing health IT for quality and addressing social risk factors. Since its inception in 1979, Family Health has provided services to the uninsured, underinsured, insured and medically underserved populations of Mobile County. In addition to the public, the center has also targeted special populations such as migrant and seasonal workers, refugees, public housing residents and people living with HIV/AIDS.
