Pediatric care for Black families
In 2022, Black infants in the U.S. died at a rate of 10.9 per 1,000 live births, per the CDC. FQHC pediatric services include well-child visits, developmental screening, and Vaccines for Children (VFC) coverage for uninsured kids. Children covered by Medicaid (CHIP in some states) get all VFC vaccines at no cost.
Substance use treatment context
Black overdose deaths rose roughly 40% from 2019 to 2022 per CDC NVSS, the fastest-rising drug-overdose mortality of any U.S. demographic. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, is the evidence-based standard of care. FQHC-based MAT addresses access barriers that disproportionately affect Black patients (DEA-waivered prescribers are more concentrated in low-income areas via FQHCs).
