his National Health Center Week, we're celebrating 60 years of America's community health centers. 🎉
In Indiana, 1 in 10 Hoosiers rely on CHCs like HealthLinc for their primary medical, dental, vision and behavioral health care - many of them children who depend on Medicaid to access these vital services.
In 2023, Indiana's CHCs saved the state an estimated $943.7 million in Medicaid costs and saved the state's health system $1.4 billion by preventing emergency room visits due to our comprehensive preventative care. While savings for 2024 haven't been released yet, it's estimated that these savings will continue to grow.
CHCs do more than your average doctor's office. We're your one-stop-shop for medical, dental, vision and behavioral health - plus support services that truly change lives. From sliding fee scales to help with housing, food, transportation and more, CHCs break down barrier and build up communities. 💪
To keep making a difference, CHCs must remain strong, supported and fully funded. Without CHCs, millions of Americans would lose access to the care they depend on - and we cannot let that happen.
