"The Brockton Neighborhood Health Center Team is fighting to protect the health and wellbeing of its patients! Reductions in Medicaid funding would negatively impact the BNHC community, and we are advocating to keep this program and its beneficiaries strong!"

Thank you to the Mass League of Community Health Centers, for amplifying our collective CHC voices as we advocate to protect Medicaid and all who count on it to stay healthy!

An estimated 250,000 MA residents will lose health care coverage if Congress passes the proposed cuts to Medicaid. Kicking people off of their health care coverage will lead to worsened health outcomes and will hit our most vulnerable communities the hardest. We're grateful to community health c...

📢 Support Health Center Funding!
Each year, Congress must approve discretionary funding for Community Health Centers, which makes up 30% of all health centers’ federal funding. We need YOUR help!

We are asking every U.S. Representative to sign a letter to the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies. This letter calls for robust discretionary funding for Community Health Centers in the upcoming fiscal year. The appropriations letter is crucial to NACHC’s strategy for securing funding as health centers continue to operate with uncertainty about securing long-term mandatory funding.

👉 Ask your U.S. Representative to sign a letter urging robust funding for Community Health Centers in the upcoming fiscal year. The deadline is coming soon!

🌟 The more signatures, the stronger the message to Congress!

THE MAKING OF A MEDICAL ASSISTANT — Thanks to the state Executive Office of Health and Human Services, BNHC is able to train members of our team to become all-important medical assistants. It’s not easy, involving months of work both in the classroom and the clinic. Here are several MA students in our current class learning to take a blood pressure, record heart rates and prick blood from a finger — among other things— from staff acting as patients. While this program is funded, you can help support other important classes at BNHC by visiting: www.BNHC.org/donate
