Family HealthCare Network

What Family HealthCare Network does

Family HealthCare Network (FHCN) is a private, non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1976 and headquartered in Visalia, California. The organization delivers a comprehensive primary healthcare delivery system across California's Central Valley, serving Tulare, Kings, and Fresno counties. It operates multiple clinical sites providing medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic, vascular, general surgery consultation, and walk-in services, supplemented by community programs such as diabetes prevention, weight management, health education, nutrition, transportation assistance, and care coordination via a Health Home program. The patient-facing technology layer consists of a secure online patient portal (built on eClinicalWorks) for scheduling, records access, and provider communication, along with a Health Information Exchange for cross-organization record sharing.

FHCN serves individuals and families across all age groups, with a particular focus on Medicaid (Medi-Cal), Medicare, managed care, and uninsured or underinsured patients who qualify for a sliding fee scale based on family size and income. Revenue is generated predominantly through fee-for-service clinical billings across its service lines, augmented by federal FQHC reimbursement, Medicare/Medicaid payments, commercial insurance, and patient payments under the sliding fee schedule. Interpreter services are provided for limited-English-proficiency patients, and after-hours care is available. The organization employs between 1,001 and 5,000 staff and is led by President & CEO Kerry Hydash, with a leadership bench including a CFO, CIO, Chief Quality Officer, Chief Dental Officer, and Deputy CEO.

From a strategic positioning standpoint, FHCN operates a direct-to-consumer, multi-site community health model with community-based GTM activities (health fairs, school partnerships, chamber of commerce collaborations). Its 50th anniversary in 2026 underscores a five-decade operating history, and it carries Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) coverage plus multiple quality recognitions, including Gold-level recognition for Pediatrics and Pharmacy services, Silver for Walk-In Clinic, Bronze for Women's Clinic, and a National Quality Leader award from HRSA for Advancing Health Information Technology for Quality.
