A Federally Qualified Health Center pilot project for early screening and outreach in underserved areas in southern Indiana

Through the U.S. Fellowship Program, FHCSI can enhance earlier detection (age 50+) and intervention of brain health decline in underserved/vulnerable populations in a vital public health clinical setting. FHCSI is uniquely positioned as a safety-net provider, combined with its established community presence and FQHC status, to implement early screening in a demographic facing multiple risk factors for cognitive impairment. The dual approach of clinical integration and community outreach will ensure comprehensive program reach while creating long-term sustainability.
