Maple City Health Care Center Receives Perfect Score
News Release
GOSHEN — Maple City Health Care Center receives a perfect compliance score from the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration, which oversees Federally Qualified Health Centers nationally.
Last fall, Maple City Health Care had its regular three-year compliance review from HRSA, which included a thorough assessment of the center’s financial management, clinical operations, governance and legal compliance.
The final report was released Thursday, Jan. 26, and showed 100% compliance, a rarity in these reviews and a first in Maple City’s history.
Executive Director Paul Shetler Fast was enthusiastic in sharing the news with staff, stating, “A clean report is a huge accomplishment and the best we have ever done as an organization on one of these reviews. This is a testament to the wonderful work each and every one of you are doing here at Maple City every single day as we care for our community.”
Maple City Health Care Center also remains the highest ranked FQHC in Indiana for its quality of care, as measured by the Indiana Primary Health Care Association. “Going above and beyond for our patients and our community is part of what makes Maple City special and why I wanted to work here,” said Rocio Diaz, community outreach coordinator.
Exceeding all federal and state requirements and maintaining high quality care allows Maple City Health Care Center to access the funds required to support comprehensive, culturally competent, quality, integrated primary health care services for the community.
Maple City Health Care Center’s mission is to provide high quality, affordable, welcoming and accessible primary health care. The health center cares for more than 6,000 Goshen area residents each year.
About a third of the health center’s patients live on incomes below poverty. About a third are unable to afford or obtain health insurance, the highest of any FQHC in Indiana. About half of the health center’s patients speak Spanish.
