As we celebrate the milestone 60th anniversary of the community health center program, new data from 2024 Uniform Data System (UDS) highlight the continued growth of community health centers, while underscoring the essential role of Medicaid in covering CHC care and services. In 2024, 15.6 million community health center patients - or 48 percent of all patients - had Medicaid coverage, and Medicaid accounted for 60 percent of CHC revenue. Our new infographic illustrates the overall growth in capacity, visits, and jobs, with HRSA-funded health centers now serving more than 32.4 million people nationwide.
