"If Congress doesn’t act to continue federal financial help by September 30, 4 million Americans could be forced to drop their Affordable Care Act coverage. If the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits are extended, millions of Americans will be able to maintain their coverage.” - Covered California Executive Director, Jessica Altman

CHCs serve at least 1 in 10 Americans and up to 1 in 7, yet account for only 1% of total U.S. healthcare spending, saving Medicaid and Medicare billions of dollars annually by reducing costly emergency, inpatient, and specialty care. Help us ensure that every Community Health Center can continue delivering comprehensive, affordable care that saves lives.

We're constantly amazed and humbled by the incredible leadership we have at our member community health centers! Leaders like Dr. Zettie Page, CEO at our member health center Bay Area Community Health (BACH), who was just honored with a 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC)! It's an honor to get to work alongside Dr. Page and BACH! He's a leader and a visionary, with unwavering dedication to our communities!

Read statement from Bay Area Community Health:

We are honored to announce that our CEO, Dr. Zettie D. Page III, has been awarded the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC)—recognizing a lifetime devoted to health equity, community service, and transformative leadership.

Dr. Page’s journey is a testament to unwavering dedication. From a teenager doing faith-based outreach to the homeless in Chicago, to street ministry providing housing and food support in Oahu, to serving as Clinical Director at an inpatient/outpatient alcohol and drug treatment center in Illinois, he has spent decades on the frontlines improving lives. As a NHSC clinician in Milwaukee, he quickly advanced into executive leadership, revitalizing health centers across the country and expanding access for underserved populations.
Under his guidance, BACH has grown into a multi-service organization serving eight cities across two counties, providing medical, dental, behavioral health, vision, and social services to thousands. Beyond operational leadership, Dr. Page has been a mentor to countless healthcare professionals, inspiring them to deliver quality, culturally relevant care and carry forward the mission of community health.

Wil Lacro, Chief of Strategic Development, accepted the award on Dr. Page’s behalf and reflected: “Dr. Page is an everyday hero. His vision, dedication, and mentorship have shaped a generation of healthcare leaders committed to equity and compassion.”

A retired Colonel with 36 years of military service, Dr. Page has dedicated his life to ensuring access to care for everyone, embodying the values that drive BACH’s mission every day.

His legacy is one of compassion, resilience, and visionary leadership. This award not only honors his achievements—it celebrates a life dedicated to ensuring that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, has access to quality care.

Join us in celebrating a legacy of leadership, mentorship, and unwavering community dedication.
