Benson Health is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and a federally-certified Rural Health Center. For more than 40 years, we have been a safety net provider in this rural area, offering primary care services, laboratory, radiology, and clinical pharmacy services.

We have a special commitment to serve the uninsured and underinsured members of the community.

Fifty-four percent (54%) of our patients have incomes at below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)
Seventeen percent (17%) of our patients have Medicaid or NC Health Choice
Twenty-three percent (23%) of our patients have Medicare
Fifteen percent (15%) of our patients are uninsured

Benson Health works with other agencies and organizations to provide health care to individuals who are not covered by private insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.

In collaboration with the NC Office of Rural Health & Community Care, we offer the Medical Access Plan (MAP), making health care accessible to uninsured people with incomes at or below 200% of the FPL. We serve 370 people through the MAP program.

Farm Workers

Since 2006, we have collaborated with the NC Farm Workers Project to provide primary health care services, including immunizations, to nearly 300 farm workers each year. On June 11, 2020, Benson Health announced that it is receiving a $35,455.04 grant through the North Carolina Healthcare Foundation’s COVID-19 Fill the Gap Response Fund. The funding will be used to allow Benson Health in partnership with the North Carolina Farmworkers Project to provide mobile medical care and testing for COVID-19 to farmworkers.
