About Us
Family First Health is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) that is accessible and community-minded. We take a beyond healthy approach that goes outside the confines of the doctor’s office. As an inclusive health care model, we put everyone first. We want happy, healthy patients who can live better lives in better health. We strive to build a healthy community by being the accessible York community health center.
Family First Health History
Family First Health was started in 1970 from a movement started by H. Jack Geiger, physician and civil rights activist. By addressing the roots of illness drawn from community concerns, early health centers like Family First Health pioneered an effective method for approaching health care in underserved communities.
Today, there are almost a thousand community health centers in the United States, making health care accessible for more than 11.5 million patients each year.
Family First Health is proud to offer this care to our patients in York, Adams, and Lancaster counties; providing compassionate and comprehensive health services to people seeking accessible and affordable quality care.
Programs including Healthy Community Network, Caring Together, Nurse-Family Partnership, Connections for a Healthy Pregnancy, Collaborative Care services, and Substance Use Services keep Family First Health at the forefront of answering the needs of our patients and the communities we serve.
This York community health center is a Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b, and a deemed Public Health Service employee under 42 U.S.C. 233(g)-(n).
