COMMUNITY IMPACT

Community Health Centers provide high quality, cost-effective, patient-centered care to vulnerable populations. Health Centers serve 1 in 7 Medicaid beneficiaries, almost 1 in 3 individuals in poverty, and 1 in 5 low-income, uninsured persons. Nationally, two-thirds of health center patients are members of racial or ethnic minorities, which places health centers at the center of the national effort to reduce racial disparities in healthcare. Recent studies show that, on average, each patient receiving care at a health center saved the healthcare system 24%, annually. With 11,442 patients served by our team in 2015, the estimated annual savings is $14.5 million.
