Who is Valley Healthcare?

Valley Healthcare System formerly known as Community Health Center of South Columbus opened its doors August 1994. This name change is reflective of the growth in our size and the services that we provide to the community. In June 2012, Valley Healthcare increased their offerings by offering expanded pharmacy and optical services. This enabled us to better serve the patient's needs while diversifying operating revenues. The new facility at 1600 Fort Benning Rd, Columbus, GA 31903 includes 30,000 sq. ft. of healthcare space on 13 acres of land.

FQHC a federal reimbursement designation used by the Bureau of Primary Health Care and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Other centers are categorized as "Look Alike" organizations. Without this designation, Columbus would lose over $2 million annually of federal funds.
Serving & Saving in the Community:
In 2012, Valley served 8,877 patients and provided 26,000 patients visits, with board certified and board eligible physicians. Health centers nationally save the health care system over $24 billion annually including $6 billion in savings to the Medicaid program.
