摘要
In their essay, Shelly Raymer Duncan and Cinthia L. Deye examine the experience of community health centers as primary providers of health care. These centers provide quality health care for their clientele and operate in an efficient manner. The authors argue that community health centers are a viable mechanism for the provision of comprehensive quality primary care for underserved persons. For some consumers, community health centers represent their only real choice for health care services, when their other options include no health care at all or severe financial duress. © 2006.
