Since 1976, Family Health Centers has been dedicated to providing high quality medical care regardless of a person’s ability to pay. Over the years, we have grown to help more families, to be in different neighborhoods, and to add services to meet the needs of our community. Additional programs such as Reach Out and Read, Doctors and Lawyer for Kids, Language Services, Health Education Classes, and Community Health Workers are valuable resources to our patients and the community. Donations to FHC helps to support programs and services that are not grant funded or not reimbursed by health insurance. As a non-profit organization, donations to the Family Health Centers are tax deductible.
Housed on the campus of the Americana World Community Center, FHC-Americana is home to our Refugee and Immigrant Health Services program. FHC provides Refugee Health Assessments for Louisville’s newly arrived refugees and serves as the ongoing medical home for many of Louisville’s newcomers. Providing an adequate and efficient operating space for the health center is vital in light of the increased number of immigrants and refugees seeking to make Louisville their homes. For many, an appointment at FHC-Americana is their entry into healthcare in the United States, so having a trauma-informed, safe and comfortable experience is essential. FHC-Americana’s clinical space is currently housed in two-modular units placed together of the back parking lot of the Community Center. This building is a little over 3,000 square feet, with up to 20 staff members.
The building was always intended to be a temporary measure until a more permanent option would be available. However, 16 years later, the modular building is a worn and cramped space, unwelcoming to staff and patients alike. The team members at Family Health Centers-Americana are well trained and experienced in providing the culturally effective and linguistically appropriate health and mental health care needed by Louisville’s newcomers. The work space should reflect their expertise and care. Despite space constraints, FHC-Americana provided 726 Refugee Health Assessments in Fiscal Year 2023, so imagine what they could do to help support our rapidly growing immigrant community in an updated and efficient space.
