The Open Door Difference
We take health care a step further by recognizing each patient as a whole person with unique needs. Our team-based approach offers coordinated care to anyone who might need additional assistance managing their health or connecting to resources in the community, such as specialty care, food resources, housing, legal services, and more.
We provide the following:
- Quality and affordable care to our patients
- Medical and dental preventative and comprehensive care
- Behavioral health services
- Coordinated care – incorporating seamless care between all departments as needed
- Personal care – we recognize that visiting the doctor or dentist can be overwhelming – we take the time to learn more about you and help you with the best solutions for better health care
- Enabling services to help patients – translation, patient services representatives to help with paperwork
- Medication Assistance – eligibility and paperwork
We do this weekdays during the day
We help all people – regardless of ethnicity, age, gender, income or any other factors
We are a Federally Qualified Health Center or Community Health Center – we are designated by the government to provide services to all people and receive funding, but also have strict regulations to operate by that are unique to FQHC’s
We are not a free clinic, or a poor people’s clinic – most people know someone who has come here.
