What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Sliding Fee Scale
Sliding fee scale based on household income and family size to provide affordable healthcare services regardless of ability to pay. Discounted services apply to those with household income up to 200% of the Federal poverty level.
Discounted Medication Program
Discounted medications are available for Greater Valley Health Center patients who fill their prescriptions at Sykes Pharmacy. Discounts are available regardless of income.
Integrated Care and Care Navigation
GVHC focuses on the whole person with prevention and treatment that addresses the patient's physical, mental and social needs (if applicable). This is made possible through collaboration and coordination internally between service departments and externally with other medical specialists and community resources. Greater Valley Health Center's Care Navigators help patients and families navigate the often-confusing world of health care and numerous community resources to ensure their needs are met.
School-based Clinics
Greater Valley Health Center partners with area schools to bring medical and mental health services to students and staff. The goal of the on-site services is to improve health, increase access to healthcare services and decrease lost time from school.

Flathead Community Health Center Inc
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
