Teche Health: An FTCA-Deemed Organization

Your Patient-Centered Medical Home

Founded in 1974, Teche Health was Louisiana’s very first Federally Qualified Clinic. Over the course of four and a half decades, we have made it our mission to provide high-quality services to patients all throughout the region.

To emphasize how strongly we care about creating close ties with the communities we serve, our organization is governed by a board of directors that consists of community volunteers, with 51 percent of the membership made up of clinic users.

We’ve built our reputation on making these services accessible to people of all income and insurance levels. We offer affordable services with sliding scale payments and payment plans to make sure that our high-quality healthcare is available to everyone who needs them.

When you receive care from Teche Health, you become a part of a community that works closely with you to get you the best possible health care and assistance.

A Health Partnership

Quality care isn’t just about accessibility—it’s about creating a patient-centric experience that makes you feel completely at ease every time you walk through our doors.

Patients will receive care from a designated primary care clinician who works in tandem with an interdisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care across multiple specialties. This allows us to create a thorough treatment plan for our patients, better overall service and an experience that feels more like a partnership than most standard healthcare models.
