United Community Health Center

United Community Health Center United Community Health Center (UCHC) serves your medical, dental, and behavioral health needs. Welcome to the United Community Health Center (UCHC).

UCHC is one of only thirteen Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) within the State of Iowa. UCHC is one of fourteen Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) within the State of Iowa, primarily covering Buena Vista and Sac Counties. However, all patients are welcome, no matter where you live. We have been growing and developing within the Storm Lake region since we opened in March 2006. United Community Health Center is privileged to serve our patients and community using a culturally diverse and experienced team of clinicians and other professional staff. We are also proud to have productive community, state, local and national partnerships that continue to enhance our ability to perform our work and thus increase our capacity to bring resources to you. We are truly committed to provide comprehensive and culturally appropriate primary and preventive health care services for your entire family. Care received at UCHC is not free – it is extremely affordable. UCHC provides a way for patients to see a doctor on a sliding fee scale that doesn’t rely on insurance status, although we are very happy to serve insured patients as well. We encourage all people that are uninsured, underinsured, or insured seeking a Medical Home to consider us as your primary care provider. With busy schedules in mind, we have convenient hours of operation including evenings and weekends. Come visit us at 715 W. Milwaukee in Storm Lake, IA or call us to make an appointment at (712) 213-0109. United Community Health Center isn’t the solution to the overwhelming health care crisis. We are, however, a partner in finding the answer. Working together for health…making a difference, one patient at a time.
