Community Health Centers Providing Critical Treatment and Services Following Hurricane Michael

Posted on October 18, 2018

Community Health Centers in the Florida Panhandle are still open and providing care for patients in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael. Mobile medical units are being activated to treat patients in areas with severe damage and limited accessibility. If travel is a safe option, Community Health Centers in the surrounding areas are open and accepting patients.

“Our Community Health Centers are always prepared to serve patients even following a major natural disaster,” said Andrew Behrman, president and CEO of the Florida Association of Community Health Centers. “Community Health Centers specialize in providing integrated care that addresses the unique needs of patients in more rural, diverse, and medically underserved areas. With our mobile medical units on the ground, we will be providing treatment, even in areas that have suffered the most during this storm.”
