Territories appear when the source lists at least one provider there. An empty cell means the source has no value to calculate it from, not zero.
How we calculated this
We count the sites (places where care is given) in the HRSA Health Center Service Delivery and Look-Alike Sites file by state, and add federally qualified health centers enrolled in Medicare that HRSA does not list, from the CMS FQHC enrollment file. Each site is counted once, under the group that applies first: HRSA-funded, then look-alike, then Medicare-enrolled only.
Data sources and dates
- Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA): “Health Center Service Delivery and Look-Alike Sites”, updated November 13, 2026.
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS): “Federally Qualified Health Center Enrollments”, updated October 19, 2026.
Limits of the data
One health center organization usually runs many sites, so this is a count of sites, not of organizations. Sliding-fee and services differ by site: call before you go.
Every figure is a count, sum or average of values in the official files above; none is estimated. Read the about page for how this site works and data freshness for when each source was last refreshed.
