Treasure Coast Community Health offers complete primary care. We also provide specialty care, including internal medicine, pediatric, GYN and behavioral care. We have pharmacies at two locations. For a detailed list of services see our Services and Locations page.
English and Spanish are the main languages spoken throughout the TCCH facilities. We also provide services for the deaf, hearing and speech impaired patients along with 150 other languages through use of our telephone language lines and video conferencing in some cases. These services allow TCCH to provide instant translations with a live operator.
A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) is more commonly known as a Community Health Center (CHC) and is a provider of primary care services in a center that is community based and patient-directed. By mission and design, CHCs exist to serve those who have limited access to health care, although all are welcome. Unlike most private practices, CHCs welcome low income individuals, the uninsured and underinsured, immigrants, migrant and seasonal farm workers, those who are homeless and those who live in public housing.
Uninsured patients, who are income eligible, pay based on a federally approved sliding fee scale to ensure income or lack of insurance is not a barrier to health and dental care. TCCH also assists those insured but having very high deductibles, by considering their income and family size.
As an FQHC, TCCCH receives some funding under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Funding must be used for approved program purposes; generally this funding represents between 20-25% of TCCH's annual budget, yet the majority of patients who are seen at TCCH have earnings of less than 100% of federal poverty guidelines and pay a reduced amount.
However, at FQHCs, the majority of individuals serving on the board must be consumers of the services provided by their health center. These 'consumer board members' represent the diversity of the population served, in age, gender, race, culture and geography. They come from all walks of life: employed, self-employed, students, disabled, retired, single, married, divorced, parents and grandparents.
The optimal number of members of the Governing Board of TCCH has been (self) determined to be 17. The balance of the Governing Board members (i..e. non-consumers) are recruited to enhance the abiity of the Governing Board to fulfull the FQHC Program requirements:
The governing board is required to oversee the organizations progress in meeting its mission and goals and should expect to see a periodic update of a written needs assessment document prior to engaging in the strategic planning effort.
The governing board is responsible to assure that the health center has a realistic plan for achieving the organizations annual program and financial goals and to measure and evaluate the organizations progress in achieving these goals.
The governing board is responsible to set the course of the health center by taking a leadership role and participating in developing goals and objectives to guide the health centers decisions and actions for the next 3-5 years.

If I could rate them a "0" I would in a heartbeat. Had an appt. for tooth extraction. Called in a week before to confirm and walk in today to say my appt. doesn't exist. Also before leaving last month after 1st extraction cleared my debt to $0 and now come in today with a collection debt out of nowhere. I have receipts as proof and they still denying straight to my face.

What is a person suppose to do when they have a severe tooth problem and you call the only place in town that takes your insurance and you don't have a way out of town because they don't drive and any other transportation stays in the same county!!!!!

If I could rate them zero I would these people wasted my time I went to the office because my tooth was hurting they told me they booked up they couldn't do nothing for me which is fine, they made me schedule an appointment. A couple weeks later I never got a message about the appointment when I called them they said they couldn't see my appointment I had to make another appointment for the next month, 1 week before my appointment they called me to tell me they don't take my insurance card when they already had my insurance card it must be my race cause this makes no sense.

Patient of TCCH dental for 5,6 years. Clean offices, staff is helpful and friendly. Hygienists and dentists are passionate but non-judgemental. Will fit you in for an emergency. Sliding scale. I love, love, love Dr. Matthew's! He is so personable and gentle. The best dentist I've had since childhood. My last exam yielded no cavities or work needed; I was terribly disappointed.

I have been blessed to have a wonderful dentist in this office Dr McAndrews amazing individual amazing staff I give him 10 stars and the only thing this office is lacking is music, when you're sitting in a dentist chair your nerves are racked music calm The Savage beast so who else can jump on this timeline with me and get this office to play some music in there maybe the '80s '70s please we need music especially in these day and times music is the only thing that takes us back and let's reminds us of events and experience that are wonderful. thank you staff for your kindness for Dr. McAndrews angel hands and for all that you've done for me.

Nobody in dental answers the phone. Ridiculous business practices. When I call around them after twenty minutes of ringing somebody picked up the phone laughing and put me right back into the loop that ends nowhere. Obviously they don't want any business. Government funded foolishness is what we can all expect in the new socialized world of healthcare.

Absolutely wonderful staff! Both office clerks are extremely friendly, and Tadd Richards the hygienist is very nice! I originally went there just to get one filling and Dr. Christine Marijanovic and her assistant got two done for me, I thank them all for helping get my teeth fixed!

I haven't been to a dentist in a long while. The staff front and back are friendly make you comfortable. For the first time in a dental chair I was actually relaxed. I didn't feel any pain during or after procedure.

AWFUL! a pulled tooth got infected and it turned into a sinus infection, furthermore these people kept pulling the healthier teeth and ignoring the bad one.

Dr. McAndrews is the best! He is very caring, gentle and makes sure your not in any pain. The dental hygienist really takes her time and does a great job and the oral surgeon is awesome as well.

I had one tooth extraction from them about a year and a half ago and it went well. Today on the other hand, I left in tears. I'm 34 weeks pregnant. I had an apt with them a week ago where they did a follow up and some x rays. I had an apt scheduled for today to get my wisdom tooth removed. Mind you, I've been up all night in pain( literally not min of sleep) crying etc. I get in the chair and they say a different tooth was scheduled to be pulled after having an entire conversation last week about my wisdom tooth being removed. I was so angry! Then they give me a paper full of oral surgeons that don't take my health plan and a referral. I don't think I'll ever return here.
