In order to sustain our ability to meet the primary healthcare needs of one of the fastest developing regions in the nation it became clear that we would need to build. In 2020 our Board of Directors made the bold decision to embark on the construction of a new, state-of-healthcare Community Health Center, to open in Spring 2022 at 2276 Riverside Drive, St. George. This new Community Health Center will enable Family Healthcare to serve the projected healthcare needs of 26,000 community residents by 2025. The new clinic will offer a more efficient work environment to our healthcare providers, with a continued focus on integrated patient-centered care. More Southwest Utah residents will be able to receive the same positive care that our patients currently count on, right here in our community
Family Healthcare is an integral link in the healthcare system of Southwest Utah and is the healthcare access answer for thousands of the residents of St. George, Hurricane, Cedar City, and surrounding communities. We deliver more than $14 million in annual economic impact and almost $2 million in yearly tax revenues. We employ 113 healthcare professionals and indirectly support more than 54 community jobs.
ST. GEORGE, Utah (3/23/2021)

A registered charity since 2002, Family Healthcare serves populations in need of medical, dental, and behavioral health care in five locations. This will soon be whittled down to three. The demand for low-cost services in Washington and Iron Counties has led to the construction of a new state-of-healthcare clinic on Riverside Drive in St. George.
While the new clinic isn’t expected to open until April of 2022, City of St. George officials received highlights of what’s to come.
“As someone who promotes and believes in the power of community, and with deep roots in Southwest Utah – it has been my pleasure to serve on the board of Family Healthcare. Early intervention in medical, behavioral and dental care helps keep our low-income, uninsured citizens out of the ER and free from costly chronic diseases. I encourage all of us to spread the word and support this essential service in our region.”Del W. Beatty, Dixie State University, Interim VP and Dean of Students
“I have seen first-hand the health-restoring and often life-saving impact that Family Healthcare has in the lives of Southwest Utahans. I know people who have turned to Family Healthcare in a time of need. Without the resources that Family Healthcare provides, thousands of our fellow residents would not have affordable access to the medical, behavioral and dental care that so many of us take for granted. No one has ever regretted giving whatever they can to ensure a stronger, healthier community.”Travis Fullmer , Family Healthcare Board Chair and President
“Family Healthcare’s collaborative approach and high caliber of care have made them a valued partner to St. George Regional Hospital and numerous other community organizations in addressing the medical, dental and behavioral needs of our community. We support their expansion and the construction of an improved clinical site that will allow them to keep pace with the region’s community’s growth.”Mitch Cloward, St. George Regional Hospital Administrator

We continue to evolve Family Healthcare according to the model of the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) which puts patients at the center of the healthcare system, and provides primary care that is “accessible, affordable, continuous, comprehensive, family centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective.”
We are looking for various roles across our care teams and administration. If you want to help others and make lives better through compassionate quality healthcare service delivery, then we’d love to hear from you!
