About Cahaba Medical Care
Cahaba Medical Care is a Community Health Center (FQHC), accredited as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and Joint Commission. We currently have seven sites in central Alabama serving Bibb, Perry, Chilton, Dallas, Autauga and Jefferson Counties. Our health centers provide comprehensive primary care services, located in Centreville, Alabama, that provides comprehensive primary care services, including treatment and management of chronic and acute diseases; preventative care and cancer screenings; pediatric care; women’s health services; prenatal care and obstetrics; dermatological services; geriatrics; sports medicine services; mental healthcare; dental services and much more.
We currently have more than 50 healthcare providers, four social workers, three licensed clinical social workers providing counseling, two registered dietitians and a team of nurses and medical assistants whose job it is to assist our patients in becoming healthier individuals.
Cahaba Medical Care is also the ONLY Teaching Health Center in the state of Alabama
WHAT IS A TEACHING HEALTH CENTER?
The Teaching Health Center program is an innovative way of funding residency education that allows training of primary care residents to occur in community-based ambulatory care clinics instead of in large hospitals. For CMC, this means that Bibb County is serving as the training ground for twelve resident physicians who are learning how to take care of all patients - regardless of insurance, financial and/or physical status. Nationally, the Teaching Health Center program supports the training of more than 700 residents, with a focus on preparing them to serve the needs of the community in underserved areas with a shortage of physicians and medical professionals.

SERVING THE UNDERINSURED & UNINSURED
"From the time we opened in 2004 we made the decision to never turn away a patient due to inability to pay. We have held to our promise even when unemployment in the area went from 3% to 15% and more patients found themselves without insurance.” —Dr. John Waits
Cahaba Medical Care provides high-quality health services regardless of a patient’s ability to pay by offering a discounted, sliding fee schedule based on income and family size. While this has been the mission of the clinic since its founding, our capabilities have continued to develop and grow through our designation as a nonprofit, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). As an FQHC, we are stewards of annual federal funding that allows us to enhance our services to those without insurance and to those facing hardship - whether medical, social, financial or emotional.
