“We’ll get together everything you need at home — and a referral to North Side Christian Health Center.”

Even primetime recognizes what we know to be true: Community Health Centers provide medical stability and access to comprehensive primary care for patients like Orlando — and for 52 million people across the country who might otherwise have limited access to care.

👏 Shoutout to North Side Christian Health Center for the lifesaving work you do every day.

Season 2 of The Pitt continues its unflinching examination of America’s health care system, placing equal narrative weight on the lives of patients and the moral strain carried by physicians. Rather than simplifying complex issues, the series humanizes the quiet crises that unfold every day in eme...

NACHC Select has announced a new strategic partnership with Pointcare, the leading provider of proactive Medicaid coverage management, to help prevent patient coverage loss at Community Health Centers. This collaboration comes at a pivotal time as health centers navigate Medicaid redetermination and policy changes under H.R. 1 (“One Big Beautiful Bill”).

Pointcare’s platform detects coverage gaps in real time, helps patients re-enroll at twice the national average, and restores coverage in an average of three months—often before their next visit. The result: fewer disruptions, reduced administrative burden, stronger financial stability, and uninterrupted access to care for patients.
