About

Established in 1972, we are a non-profit, statewide association representing and serving the needs of the state's community health centers.

• Analysis of state and federal health regulatory and policy issues affecting health centers;

• Workforce Development initiatives to increase recruitment of primary care physicians and to provide career training for health center employees and local residents seeking entry-level positions at health centers;
• Information Technology Development primarily focused on electronic medical records implementation; and
