Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation is a community-based, Federally Qualified Heath Center (FQHC) network that serves predominately low income or medically underserved populations throughout 10 counties in southern Illinois.

SIHF opened its doors in 1985 as a small healthcare facility on Bond Avenue in Centreville, IL with one doctor, one nurse, and a clinic director at a time when many physicians were leaving southern Illinois. Today, SIHF employs more than 600 people, including over 150 medical providers as well as a controlled affiliate hospital in Centreville, Illinois.

For more than 30 years SIHF’s mission has remained grounded in creating access for healthcare by delivering primary care, dental, behavioral, and support services to those in most need of medical care.
