HFHC itself is a Federally Qualified Health Center, meaning it offers primary care services to underserved areas and offers care on a sliding fee scale, among other requirements. The nonprofit serves all of Marion County with an emphasis on uninsured and underinsured individuals.
“Think about how many people have been laid off through this pandemic,” James said. “They’ve lost their insurance, or they have a gap in their insurance. We are there for them as well, and I think that’s sometimes overlooked.”
More and More Doctors Abandoning Private Practice By Kerry Dooley Young

These patterns likely reflect broader trends toward consolidation in health care, with both insurance companies and hospitals also having grown in size in recent years.
The latest biennial analysis of doctors’ practices by the American Medical Association showed an acceleration of a trend away from private practice, defined as a practice wholly owned by physicians. The 2020 results found less than half 49.1 % of doctors involved in patient care worked in a private practice, the AMA said in a report released this month.
