Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Because community health centers are rapidly becoming the healthcare provider for many special populations, private clinics tend to see only clients with insurance. Special populations, such as the homeless and elderly, are more likely to receive primary care at the community health center, as are many of the local neighborhood's residents. Specialized clinics target populations with mobile clinics. Community healthcare clinics serve target populations, such as walk-ins with emergency conditions.
