Community health centers (CHCs) are widely recognized for providing high-quality, affordable primary and preventive care, improving healthcare access, and reducing overall health system costs.
A new series of fact sheets from the Geiger Gibson Program in Community Health provides current, state-specific data on CHC patients, quality metrics, and jobs, and highlights the essential role of Medicaid in supporting health center care and services.
Medicaid funding reductions being considered by Congress would cause millions of CHC patients to lose coverage, threatening their access to care and resulting in crippling losses of Medicaid revenue needed to sustain CHC operations and staffing.
Fact sheets are available now along with our recent data note, Medicaid Coverage for Over Nine Million Community Health Center Patients Is At Risk Under a Federal Work Mandate.
