Waco Family Medicine
Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)
Waco Family Medicine was established in 1969 by the McLennan County Medical Society to address a shortage of doctors, lack of primary care access for low-income community members, and economic development issues in Waco. The center was developed from a coalition of business, political, and medical leaders pulling together to solve these community problems.
Through the Waco Family Medicine Residency Program, housed at WFM Central site, we train some of the region’s best family physicians with an emphasis on compassion and culturally-sensitive care.
* Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) This designation means we treat underserved populations, offer an income-based sliding fee scale, provide comprehensive health services, and qualify for enhanced reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, among other requirements and benefits.
