Community Health Centers

Community Health Centers in Florida employ an innovative outreach model that involves reaching out to the community in many atypical locations. Outreach worker Gina Morel says that “my role as the outreach worker is to welcome everyone, everywhere in town into our clinic. Outreach into child care centers, churches, community centers, Laundromats, apartments, restaurants, city hall, hair salons/barber shops, etc.  We embrace the people receiving Medicaid and use a sliding fee scale for people without health care coverage. We accept a wide variety of insurance plans. We are a company that appreciates the diverse population in Orlando and we welcome all the races, religions and cultures present in the Orlando area. Outreach is a bridge to reach the uninsured, and offer access to affordable, quality health care, in all communities. Hispanic, African American, GLBT communities receive much of my outreach attention as the health care disparities are largest in those communities.
