Mission The purpose and objectives of the Southwest Boulevard Family Health Care Services of Greater Kansas City, Incorporated are to provide health care and supportive services to all, including the medically indigent, in a nondiscriminatory manner and setting, dedicated to continuity with quality medical care.
Family Health Care has a flat organizational structure. The entire staff, including physicians, dentists, nurses, lab and office support personnel are volunteers, or are paid at the same modest hourly rate (currently $14/hr.) Operational decisions are made in weekly staff meetings. Commitment is important to staff members which has led to a very low staff turnover (the organization- founded in 1989 has six staff who have been with the FHC more than eighteen years and another dozen more than ten years.) FHC Conflict of Interest Policy Southwest Boulevard Family Health Care Services of Greater Kansas City, Inc., its officers, directors, and staff shall scrupulously avoid any conflict between their own personal interests and the interests of the organization, in all actions taken on behalf of the organization in their respective capacities. In the event that any officer, director, or staff member shall have any direct or indirect interest in, or relationship with, any individual or organization which transacts business (with services or monetary exchange) including but not limited to: 1. the sale, purchase, lease or rental of any property or asset; 2. employment or rendition of services, personal or otherwise; 3. the award of any grant, contract or subcontract; 4. the investment or deposit of any funds of the organization, such person shall give notice of such interest and shall refrain from discussing or voting or otherwise attempting to exert any influence on the organization to affect a decision about on the transaction in which there is or may be an interest.

This code recognizes that an organization is defined by the people who work for it, and that those people―board members, executive leaders, staff, and volunteers―must demonstrate their ongoing commitment to the core values of integrity, honesty, fairness, openness, respect, and responsibility. Our code of ethics is a part of a larger, organization-wide commitment to ethical practices. Our values are supported by policies and procedures for staff, volunteers and board members.
