Announcing a new collaboration with Upstream USA

IPHCA is launching a new quality improvement initiative in partnership with Upstream USA to advance maternal and infant health.

The initiative will support health centers with standardizing family planning screening and increasing access to the full range of contraceptive care services within primary care settings. This initiative will empower primary care providers to help patients make informed decisions about their health and family planning goals. By prioritizing care before conception, we aim to improve health outcomes and promote overall well-being for individuals and families across Indiana.

Upstream has worked with 200+ health care organizations across the country to make contraceptive care patient-centered and accessible.

Indiana FQHCs face uncertainty in continuing to provide care for all Hoosiers as federal funding for Medicaid faces potential changes.

Thanks to HealthNet, Inc., Indiana Health Centers, and the Clinically Integrated Network of Indiana for sharing your thoughts.

Federally Qualified Health Centers serve an estimated 700,000 people in Indiana, most earn low incomes and half are on Medicaid. Now, those centers say they face uncertainty as potential changes to federal funding and Medicaid loom large.
