CHC Conversations – The History of CHC Movement


This video podcast showcases the rice, diverse, and important living history of the health center movement told through a series of conversations with health centers leaders, executives, medical professionals and community health thought leaders.


The nation’s first health centers opened in 1965. Today, expansion of the federally supported health center system has grown to over 1,400 organizations, operating more than 10,000 clinic sites serving more than 29 million patients and generating $55 billion in economic activity annually. Health centers help increase access to crucial primary care by reducing barriers such as cost, lack of insurance, distance, and language for their patients. In doing so, health centers provide substantial benefits to the country and its health care system.


Learn about the vital role that community health centers play in the American health care system.
