and Campbell. With its mission to provide affordable and comprehensive healthcare with

quality services and strong community partnerships, JHC is governed by a board of directors

composed of at least 51% of its patient population. Community health centers were created more

than 50 years ago in order to increase access to healthcare in medically underserved areas. All

SERVICES

Johnson Health Center is proud to offer comprehensive healthcare services to anyone seeking

with multiple healthcare needs and the use of key quality improvement practices, JHC works to

reduce health disparities. Since 2017, Johnson Health Center has increased patient access by

40.2%. In 2022 alone, JHC provided services to over 27,000 individual patients with nearly
