🚨 Community Health Centers Need Your Help — Act Now! 🚨
Federal funding for Community Health Centers (CHCs) is set to expire on January 30, 2026. If Congress does not act, millions of people could lose access to affordable, local healthcare.
Community Health Centers serve 52 million patients every year at more than 17,000 locations across the country. That includes:
👩⚕️ 1 in 5 rural Americans
🧑⚕️ 1 in 3 people living in poverty
👨⚕️ 1 in 5 uninsured individuals
👩⚕️Overall, 1 in 7 Americans relies on a CHC for care, including more than 15,000 individuals in our local communities.
CHCs provide primary care, preventive services, behavioral health, and more—regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. They are a lifeline for families, seniors, veterans, and workers in our communities.
Right now, CHC funding is only temporarily covered under a short-term government extension. Congress must pass long-term funding to protect patient access and keep health centers open.
👉 TAKE ACTION TODAY
Please contact your members of Congress and urge them to support stable funding for Community Health Centers, including:
❗️At least $5.8 billion per year for CHCs (for two years)
❗️$950 million per year for the National Health Service Corps (NHSC)
❗️$2.1 billion over five years for the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) program
