To support the delivery of primary care services and its various programs, the Southwest Utah Community Health Center relies on support from various groups and organizations. The Federal Government continues to be a source of funds for the Community Health Center. The major funding partner is the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

To achieve the goal of providing health care services to at risk populations, the Community Health Center must recover the maximum allowable from Medicaid and Medicare as well as reimbursements from other third-party payers. A significant percentage of costs for services to eligible low-income individuals are defrayed through Medicaid reimbursements. The Community Health Center also receives Medicare reimbursements for services provided to older adults. A significant source of funds come from our uninsured patients who pay based on family size and income.

Southwest Utah Community Health Center must provide access to services without regard for a person's ability to pay. Given the limited availability of federal resources, an important component of fulfilling this mandate is the maximization of revenue from all sources and the participation in favorable enhanced or cost-based reimbursement programs for which they are eligible.

We acknowledge and express appreciation to the following agencies for their time and generous support in helping provide health care for the patients at our clinic.

• George S. & Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation
• Dixie Ladies of Elks
•  IHC Dixie REgional Medical Center
• Doctor's Volunteer Clinic
• Smith's Pharmacy
• Five County Association of Governments
• RSVP/Volunteer Center of Washington County
• Utah Center for Rural Health 
• IHC Foundation
• The Salvation Army
