Our Story
OneWorld Community Health Centers, in partnership with the community, provides culturally respectful, quality health care with special attention to the underserved.
OneWorld Community Health Centers (formerly the Indian-Chicano Health Center) was established as a volunteer, free clinic in 1970 to address health access issues of patients with financial, cultural and linguistic barriers to care.
OneWorld is a federally qualified community health center (FQHC). FQHC is a federal designation from the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC). FQHCs are either located in, or serve, a federally designated medically underserved area/population. All FQHCs must operate under a consumer Board of Directors governance structure and provide comprehensive primary health care, dental and mental health/substance abuse services to persons in all stages of the life cycle. FQHCs provide their services to all persons according to their ability to pay.
OneWorld is now the largest provider of primary health care services in South Omaha and is the only primary care clinic that has a majority bilingual and bicultural staff, a sliding fee scale for patients without insurance, entitlement enrollment services, an on-site pharmacy, a partnering vision clinic and other services. In 2018, OneWorld saw 46,291 unique patients.
