Tri-Med Family Care

“Our Mission is to serve God by serving our community with a passion for healthcare and compassion for people.”
TMFC provides healthcare services as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). FQHCs are community-based health care providers that receive funds from the HRSA Health Center Program to provide primary care services in underserved areas. They must meet a stringent set of requirements, including providing care on a sliding fee scale based on ability to pay and operating under a governing board that includes patients.

The defining legislation for Federally Qualified Health Centers (under the Consolidated Health Center Program) is Section 1905(l)(2)(B) of the Social Security Act. TMFC has also been awarded recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home Program. NCQA’s PCMH Recognition program is the most widely adopted PCMH evaluation program in the country.

Tri-Med Family Care is a sub-recipient of a Georgia Family Planning System (GFPS) grant and is deemed a family planning service site. GFPS ensures access to high-quality pregnancy planning and prevention services integrated with other preventive health care for women, men and adolescents with priority given to low-income and uninsured individuals who may otherwise lack access regardless of income and health insurance status.

TMFC is credentialed as a Community Provider in the VA Community Care Network (CCN). The CCN is the VA’s direct link with community providers to ensure Veterans receive timely, high-quality care.
