Associate Clinic Member
Associate Clinic Members are 501c3 organizations that meet the definition of a free and charitable clinic and is interested in the services and support provided by FAFCC. Associate Clinic Members are those that may not be able to meet all Membership Standards and are working towards full membership or simply enjoy being part of an association that supports the clinic, provides technical assistance and advocates on behalf of the clinic and its patients. Associate Clinic Members enjoy most of the same benefits offered to Full Clinic Members, excluding receiving funding.
A free or charitable clinic is a 501c3 designated organization that provides healthcare services to uninsured or underinsured patients for little to no cost, regardless of the ability to pay. A free or charitable clinic cannot have any of the following designations: Rural Health Center (RHC), Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), or an FQHC look-a-like.
Associate Clinic Membership is $550. Should an Associate Clinic Member become a Full Clinic Member, dues will then be calculated using a tiered system based on operating budget.
