A Message from the President & CEO Family HealthCare Network (FHCN) stands by its mission to provide quality health care to everyone in the communities we serve. For over 40 years, this focus on the needs of our communities has made us one of the largest networks of community health centers both in California and in the United States as a whole.
Highlights from fiscal years 2017 and 2018 (FY 17/18) serve to illustrate our commitment to the communities around us. In FYs 17-18, we served over 253,000 active patients at 30 sites. Our staff size exceeded 1,200 members, which allowed us to work cohesively to ensure that we provide quality care for all, regardless of their ability to pay.
For much of FHCN’s history, we have focused on providing high-quality comprehensive primary care and support services. Recently, to better serve our communities, we have expanded our service area to include Tulare, Kings, and Fresno Counties, and added or expanded 15 specialty services to our network. Having enhanced access to these specialties has had a tremendous positive impact on our patients who otherwise would have continued to struggle to access timely specialty care. As the seventh largest community health center in the United States, and the third largest in California, FHCN is also very honored to serve more agricultural workers than any other community health center in the nation. I invite you to learn more about FHCN and its progress in FYs 17-18 in the pages of our annual report. Sincerely,
Kerry L. Hydash, MPA President & CEO
