Our member #CHCs are incredible! They showed up and showcased what the real-life implications of the proposed federal and state cuts will look like on the healthcare safety net system they work so hard to deliver to our most underrepresented communities.
We #ValueCHCs and we need to #SaveCHCs.
Investing in what works is a smart investment. #CommunityHealth Centers are proven to lower costs, deliver better outcomes, and establish deeper trust.
That’s a good bet. Let’s not walk away from it. #CHCs
We should be strengthening these lifelines, not starving them.
In some towns and neighborhoods, #communityhealth centers are the only place people can get care. #CHCs
↗️ Over their 60-year history, community health centers have been more than places of care—they’ve been engines of empowerment.

Massive cuts in #Medicaid hurt America’s most vulnerable. Medicaid is the single most important #healthcare program for children in the U.S. Cuts will massively increase uncompensated care, not just for #CHCs, but for ERs. It will further drive healthcare costs up for everyone.
"If the experience of the last few weeks is a sign of what is to come, the already fragile primary care safety net may be about to break." Former HRSA Admin. Carole Johnson details the challenges facing #CHCs today, from #Medicaid cuts to unpredictable funding, that jeopardize care for 32.5M people.
