About the Organization
Founded in 1972, Central Florida Health Care started responding to critical healthcare gaps identified by the agricultural community. A local citrus processing firm recognized the importance of adequate health care, social services, and childcare for farmworkers in Frostproof, Florida. The first clinic opened with a doctor and a nurse and began serving the farm workers in the Frostproof community.
Our services include adult and pediatric medical and dental care, behavioral health, endocrinology, infectious disease, lab & x-ray, OB/GYN, optometry, nutritional counseling, pharmacy, podiatry, and rheumatology.
In addition, CFHCs Community Health Centers offer quality patient-centered care for every stage of life. Translation services are available for all languages, and specially trained Navigators (Community Health Workers) assist patients at no charge with everything from forms to transportation. These services ensure that access to health care is not a barrier to treatment.
Join our Family! CFHC offers the ultimate quality of life for talented, hard-working staff. We offer an excellent benefits package which includes a competitive salary, student loan forgiveness programs, 9.5 paid holidays, 4.4 weeks of PTO, and more!
