| Our Building |
Family Health Care has a flat organizational
structure. The entire staff, including physicians, dentists, nurses, lab and office support personnel are volunteers,
or paid at the same modest hourly rate (currently $12/hr.)
Operational decisions are made in weekly staff meetings. Commitment is
important to staff members which has led to a very low staff turnover (the organization- founded in 1989 has six staff who
have been with the FHC more than seventeen years and another dozen more than eight years.)

The Family Health Care Code of Ethics is a demonstration of our commitment to high ethical standards. This code recognizes
that an organization is defined by the people who work for it, and that those people―board members, executive leaders,
staff, and volunteers―must demonstrate their ongoing commitment to the core values of integrity, honesty, fairness,
openness, respect, and responsibility.
Our code of ethics is a part of a larger, organization-wide commitment to ethical practices. Our values are supported
