The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) considers Friends of Family Health Center (FOFHC) and its providers as Public Health Services employees, providing malpractice liability protection under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). This coverage extends to FOFHC and its (1) officers; (2) governing board members; (3) full- and part-time employees; and (4) contractors who are licensed or certified individual health care practitioners. FTCA coverage is similar to a "per occurrence" policy without a limit on how much money is awarded. Therefore, any coverage limits that may be mandated by other organizations are met.
Our mission is to provide access to affordable, quality medical, dental, and behavioral health care services to all residents of Southern California communities, especially the vulnerable populations.
