As we commemorate Medicaid's 60th anniversary, we must highlight the vital lifeline it provides for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and community Health Centers, like GCHC. We rely on Medicaid funding to provide accessible, affordable, comprehensive healthcare services to vulnerable populations daily. Medicaid funding ensures the financial viability of community health centers, allowing them to remain open and ensuring access to care for a significant portion of Medicaid beneficiaries.
