To address the widespread lack of access to basic health care, community health centers serve more than 17 million people in more than 6,000 communities around the country each year.
Because those health centers depend in large part on public financial help, they need a unified voice and common source for research, information, training and advocacy.
With the needs of those Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in mind, the National Association of Community Health Centers organized in 1971.
Working closely with a network of state health center and primary care organizations, the NACHC serves its members in three major ways:
- Research-based advocacy for health centers and their clients.
- Education of the public and training of health center staff and boards.
- Development of alliances with like-minded public and private partners to foster delivery of medical care to those in need.
