Raise your voice this week for community health centers! We need your voice as we urge Congress to take swift action to pass a spending bill for Fiscal Year 2025 to ensure that community health centers receive the funding they need to care for their 32.5 million patients nationwide.
Community health centers are an essential piece of the healthcare system, providing access to high-quality, affordable primary care in underserved communities. As economic engines, community health centers provide local jobs, keep people healthy and engaged in their local communities, and save taxpayers money by providing lower-cost care and keeping people out of emergency rooms and expensive hospital stays.
Community health centers are a lifeline for so many, and we need your help now to make sure they receive this necessary funding!
1) REACH OUT TO CONGRESS TODAY: The messages you send to your representatives ask them to pass long-term stable funding for health centers, specifically:
- Extend CHC funding at the highest possible levels.
- Invest in the primary care workforce to address shortages.
- Expand telehealth to improve access to care in hard-to-reach areas.
2) CUSTOMIZE YOUR LETTER: Add your location, the value of your health center, and its impact on patients and your community.
