Access Family Care lands $635,000 grant for Cassville clinic

Access Family Care is the only federally qualified health center in the area, and it uses a sliding fee schedule based on household income for uninsured and Medicaid patients.

That reimbursement allows Access Family Care to provide affordable health services to Medicaid patients, as well as patients who have health insurance or those who have no insurance.

The stimulus grants awarded to organizations like Access Family Care could be used for construction, repairs or renovations to buildings; for the purchase of new equipment or health information technology systems; or for the improvement or expansion of electronic health records.

Access Family Care was established in 1997 as the Ozark Tri-County Health Care Consortium.

The center is a nonprofit organization committed to providing comprehensive and preventive health care for low-income residents of McDonald, Barry and Jasper counties. The organization has clinics in Joplin, Anderson and Cassville. The sites provided care to more than 12,000 medical and dental patients in 2008, the organization said.

Other grants

A total of $17 million in government grants was awarded to 20 health-care centers throughout Missouri, including more than $979,600 to Advocates for a Healthy Community in Springfield.
