The Health Center at Faith Mission provides medical, dental, vision and behavioral health care services for people who experience homelessness or lack access to quality health care services. Located in downtown Columbus, the Health Center is designed to provide on-going care for people who experience homelessness, unstable housing, low income, and other challenges. Grant funding from the federal government allows the Health Center to provide services on a sliding fee scale, making it affordable regardless of income level. Our doctors, nurses, dentists, social workers and optometrists are skilled professionals who provide high-quality care.
