Abstract

This report describes a clinic run by a federally-qualified health center and an academic medical center. The clinic expands the community's primary care capacity, combining advantages of big and small settings, and of its dual affiliation. Survey data suggest the clinic prevents health care delays and lowers emergency department use.
