Changes have occurred at the Florida Department of Health in Duval County (DOH-Duval) that are important to share with you.

In the past DOH-Duval had received federal funding to operate our community’s Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC): West Jacksonville Family Health Center, South Jacksonville Primary Care, South Jacksonville Family Health Center, and the Wesconnett Family Health Center. Under the Public Health Service Act, FQHCs provide core primary care servicesto community memberswithout regard to their ability to pay.

In March 2016, the Agape Community Health Center, Inc. (Agape) received federal funding in the amountof $2.1 millionfor three years to operate the FQHC network independently. Since then DOH-Duval has been providing temporary transitional support to Agape to decrease disruption of access and services to patients.Beginning July 1, 2016 Agape will operate as a stand-alone FQHC.
