HRSA Health Center Service Delivery and Look-Alike Sites API

What you can build

HRSA FQHC and look-alike site snapshots with service-delivery and administrative roles kept distinct. Default retrieval selects care-delivery sites; administrative-only sites remain separately available. Domestic-violence site address/ZIP/coordinate suppression is preserved. Published coordinates have unspecified precision; locations do not establish eligibility, current appointment availability or nearby-population designation. Parent organization addresses differ from site addresses. Use this dataset as a sourced input to an application, analytical model or retrieval tool. Retain its native dimensions when joining it with your own records.

Coverage and interpretation

BPHC site identifiers are distinct from NPIs and parent health-center organizations. Care-delivery sites include combined administrative/service sites; administrative-only sites require a separate selector. HRSA source snapshot dates, FQHC/look-alike programs, mobile/seasonal/permanent status and address suppression remain explicit. Published point precision is unspecified. Unlocated and protected domestic-violence sites do not appear in spatial searches. Parent organization addresses are not substituted for site locations; source legislative names are historical snapshot attributes. Proximity or HPSA intersection does not establish eligibility or appointment availability.

The active release shown here is a catalog snapshot. Check the live catalog and response provenance for current readiness. The underlying public source and Geoamcan access terms are separate; consult the source’s licensing and attribution requirements.
