Community health centers (CHCs) are the backbone of America’s health care safety net, providing accessible, comprehensive health care to more than 30 million patients. New research reveals this vital safety net is under threat and many CHCs are facing challenges to providing ongoing, high-quality care.
Join the Commonwealth Fund and National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) for a webinar to discuss a new national CHC survey that reveals how effectively CHCs are delivering core primary care services, and the barriers they have faced in doing so.
The conversation will engage leading experts in exploring the challenges facing CHCs and how policymakers, primary care associations, and CHCs can build on successes and improve care for patients.
