Hope Within Community Health, Counseling & Dental Center earned a 2023 Gold Rating from the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NAFC) Quality Standards Program. NAFC is a national membership association of safety-net health care organizations that utilize a volunteer/staff model to provide medical, dental, pharmacy, and/or behavioral health services to economically disadvantaged individuals.

To quantify and qualify the care provided at the Free and Charitable Clinic network, the NAFC formalized a set of quality standards for member organizations in 2020. Hope Within has earned the Gold Rating for each of the four years the standards have been in existence. NAFC quality standards elements include policies and procedures important to ensuring quality health care for those in need and cover the following areas: administrative, clinic/pharmacy responsibilities, credentialing and privileging systems, patient care, and risk management systems.
