health center

Place for checkups

A health center is a facility providing medical services, typically offering primary care, preventive treatment, and basic health education to a community.

Health centers often serve populations with limited access to healthcare, including rural areas or underserved urban neighborhoods.

The term may also refer to wellness facilities on college campuses or within large organizations: I went to the student health center for a flu shot.
