ABOUT OUR PROMISE
Mission Statement
ACS Health Care Consultants, LLC believes that every person in this country should have access to affordable quality health care. Not having health insurance does not mean one has to struggle to see a Doctor. The answer to this challenge lies in a Federally Qualified Community Health Center and/or a Look a Like, who provide healthcare for all people. ACS basic premise is to provide guidance to develop and refine FQHCs and Look-Alikes to be the best they can be by meeting the HRSA requirements. We understand and believe in the process and can make operational compliance a reality.
