Community health centers are trusted providers of high-quality primary and preventive care, maternal and reproductive care, and social services to one in eight women in the U.S. Yet today, shrinking federal funding and major policy shifts deeply threaten their ability to sustain these essential services for women and their families.
In this program, we’ll take a deep dive into women's health care services offered by community health centers, have a look at the role of Medicaid and program grants in supporting essential women and children's health care, and discuss policy changes and funding cuts that threaten access to care for women and children.
