Fordland Clinic was formed in 1996.

The mission of Fordland Clinic is to improve the health of our wider rural community and serve as the independent non-profit provider of choice by offering comprehensive medical, dental and mental health care, prevention and wellness services to all area residents without regard to insurance or income.

Federal 501(c)3 non-profit status was obtained in 1998. It was
anticipated we would be able to obtain a Federally Qualified Health
Center (FQHC) grant and be able to offer medical, dental, and
mental health services under an income contingent sliding scale
fee schedule but overcoming obstacles delayed this process.

As of July 1, 2005, Fordland Clinic (a commmunity owned 501(c)3 non-profit corporation) assumed full ownership & control of Fordland Family Medical LLC ending a 9 year successful partnership between the two organizations. This merger is in preparation for Fordland Clinic’s evolution into a Federally Qualified Health Center. This is being done so that the clinic may expand services and access to care for all area residents. The clinic will continue to offer comprehensive family practice, counseling and urgent care services. The clinic will continue to maintain an emphasis on prevention and wellness.

As of March of 2007, Fordland Clinic was designated a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike.

Fordland Clinic is attempting to obtain Federal funds to expand health services in Webster County.  We need community assistance to select the 10 areas that will be the focus for the first 3 years.  

Please help us identify the health needs of area residents
by participating in the Webster County Health Issue Survey

If you wish general information on Missouri's Federally Qualified
Health Centers go to the Missouri Primary Care Association.
