The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) is the national organization representing the more than 11,000 Community Health Center (CHC) sites across the country. CHCs are patient-centered organizations whose shared mission is to provide high-quality, affordable health care to all medically underserved patients, so they can have the opportunity to thrive, contribute to their communities, and reach their full potential. This decision will deter individuals — including those seen at CHCs — from addressing their own health care needs and those of their families, ultimately leading to worse health outcomes, higher costs, and reduced productivity.
