Westside Family Health Care

Westside Family Health Care is a distinguished non-profit organization that has been serving the communities of Delaware since 1988. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) since 1994, it is dedicated to its mission of improving community health by ensuring equal access to quality healthcare for all, irrespective of income, insurance status, immigration status, or other personal characteristics. Operating as a "Primary Care Medical Home," Westside Family Health Care places the patient at the center of healthcare decision-making. This approach emphasizes comprehensive, patient-centered, accessible, high-quality, and coordinated care. Their team of providers works collaboratively to address a wide range of health needs, including prevention, wellness, acute care, and chronic disease management. Westside Family Health Care offers a broad spectrum of services, including family medicine, pediatric care, reproductive health, mental and behavioral health services, and dental care. They also provide valuable support programs such as nutrition counseling, certified diabetes education, care coordination, social support services (connecting patients to resources for food, housing, and employment), and cancer screening navigation. To ensure accessibility, they offer telehealth appointments, evening and weekend hours, and language translation and interpretation services. They also run community-focused initiatives like the "Reach Out and Read Program" which promotes early childhood literacy by providing books to children during their visits, and a "Home Visiting Community Health Worker Program" focused on maternal and child health. With multiple locations across New Castle and Kent Counties, including Wilmington, Bear/New Castle, Dover, and Newark, Westside Family Health Care aims to be conveniently located for the residents it serves. They accept most insurances, including Medicaid and Medicare, and offer a sliding fee scale for uninsured patients, ensuring care is affordable for everyone. Their commitment extends beyond medical treatment to active community engagement through health education, outreach programs, and initiatives to address social determinants of health.
