In 1998, HealthCore Clinic opened its doors as \u201cThe Center for Health and Wellness,\u201d and the vision of its founders, Arneatha Martin and Walter \u201cBud\u201d Gates, was born. The focus was on prevention, education, and wellness as well as a vision to promote a healthy community regardless of one\u2019s ability to pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2006<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2006, under the pioneering leadership of Beverly White, the Center for Health and Wellness (CHW) became recognized as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). This awarded the clinic with additional federal funds to carry out its mission of providing access to high-quality primary health care services regardless of the ability to pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2011<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011, a passionate CHW patient and former board member, Teresa Lovelady, became the 3rd President and CEO of CHW. Her innovative and collaborative leadership style allowed the clinic to move closer towards being recognized as a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH), and put processes into place that allowed for true integration of mental health services on-site, which occurred in 2013. In 2014, Center for Health and Wellness became \u201cHealthCore Clinic\u201d and continues to provide quality family health care through improved access and a heightened and unrelenting focus on education and prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/healthcoreclinic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HealthCoreClincBuilding-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthcoreclinic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HealthCoreClincBuilding-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/healthcoreclinic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HealthCoreClincBuilding-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/healthcoreclinic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HealthCoreClincBuilding-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/healthcoreclinic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HealthCoreClincBuilding.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2016<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, an expansion of the existing building allowed HealthCore Clinic to provide a comprehensive health center experience for the Wichita community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>HealthCore Clinic is an \u200b<\/em>FTCA deemed facility<em>.\u200b This health center receives HHS funding and has Federal Public Health Service (PHS) deemed status with respect to certain health or health-related claims, including medical malpractice claims, for itself and its covered individuals. <\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mission Statement To provide quality family healthcare through improved access and a heightened and unrelenting focus on education and prevention.
