Kentucky Primary Care Association

Kentucky Primary Care Association KPCA is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation of community health centers, rural health clinics, licensed primary care centers and other organizations.

The Kentucky Primary Care Association was founded in 1976 as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation of community health centers, rural health clinics, licensed primary care centers and other organizations and individuals concerned about access to health care services for the state’s underserved rural and urban populations. KPCA is charged with promoting the mutual interests of our members, with a mission to promote access to comprehensive, community-oriented primary health care services for the underserved. Association members are providers of primary care – first contact, broadly trained physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, behavioral health providers, dental providers and other professionals delivering whole-person health care. We support the development of primary care services throughout the Commonwealth by working with federal, state and local legislators, regulatory agencies, health policy organizations, foundations, and payors to build a stronger primary care system in Kentucky. KPCA was established to:

Develop a unified coalition of primary care providers. Stimulate and support development of primary health care services. Serve the needs of our members

Last week, providers from Kentucky’s Community Health Centers participated in Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) Provider Training, strengthening skills that are critical to improving maternal and newborn outcomes.

Through KPCA scholarships, CHC providers were able to attend this hands on training focused on managing obstetric emergencies, strengthening team based response, and supporting safe, high quality care for mothers and babies.

Maternal health remains a priority across Kentucky, and investing in trainings like ALSO helps ensure providers are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to respond when it matters most.

We are proud to support our health centers and the providers who are committed to improving maternal health in their communities.

KPCA and Community Health Center leaders had the opportunity to visit Big Sandy Health Care, Inc. yesterday for a tour of their facilities and to learn more about the programs serving patients across Eastern Kentucky.

During the visit, leaders saw firsthand the impact of Big Sandy’s maternal health services and their Black Lung program, which provides screening, care coordination, education, and pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with Black Lung disease.

Opportunities like this allow community health center leaders to learn from one another, share ideas, and see innovative programs in action. Collaboration across Kentucky’s health centers strengthens care for the communities we serve.

Thank you to the Big Sandy team for hosting and sharing the important work happening in your clinics.
