Beloit Area Community Health Center

The Beloit Area Community Health Center is a vital healthcare facility located at 74 Eclipse Blvd, Beloit, WI 53511. It operates as a federally qualified health center (FQHC) under the umbrella of Community Health Systems of Wisconsin (CHS). This designation means it adheres to federal guidelines to provide comprehensive primary healthcare services, particularly to underserved populations in urban and rural communities. Beloit Area Community Health Center offers a wide range of services designed to address the holistic health needs of its patients. These include primary medical care, dental care, and behavioral health services (including mental health and chiropractic care). They cater to individuals and families of all ages and backgrounds, with a strong commitment to accessibility. This commitment is evident in their acceptance of various insurance plans, including private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Furthermore, they provide a generous sliding-fee schedule for those with high deductible health plans or no insurance, based on household income and family size, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent access to necessary care. The clinic is staffed by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, including physicians, dentists, family nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, nurses, and support staff. They are equipped to handle a variety of health concerns, from routine well-child exams, school, and sports physicals to managing chronic illnesses, providing family planning, and offering confidential STD/HIV testing. They also provide comprehensive care for HIV-positive individuals through collaboration with UW-Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics. For patient convenience, they offer MyChart access for secure communication, appointment management, and viewing test results. Community Health Systems of Wisconsin, established in 1999, oversees several clinics in Southern Wisconsin, including two in Beloit and one in Darlington. Their mission is to provide community-oriented health and social services in a culturally competent and confidential manner, promoting comfort, healing, and illness prevention. As an FQHC, the Beloit Area Community Health Center is also eligible for various benefits, such as participation in the Federal Tort Claims Act, drug pricing discounts, and federal loan guarantees for capital improvements, which further enable them to expand and enhance their services to the community.
