What is a Community Health Center? Advance Community Health is one of 40 federally-funded health centers in North Carolina. A Community Health Center provides a patient-governed, patient-centered health care home that integrates high quality medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy and enabling services without regard to a person’s ability to pay. They are private, non-profit organizations that remove common barriers to care by serving communities who otherwise confront financial, geographic, language, cultural or other barriers.
