Public Policy & Research (PPR) Division

As the national voice for Community Health Centers, NACHC’s Public Policy and Research (PPR) Division works alongside state Primary Care Associations to monitor the changing health care climate, analyze key regulatory and legislative issues that impact Community Health Centers, and educate policymakers and other key stakeholders about the role that Community Health Centers play.

Health Center Advocacy Network

The Health Center Advocacy Network provides best practices and that aim to help Community Health Centers establish advocacy infrastructure, training, guidance, and general advocacy support. The advocacy resources serve the goals of ensuring sustained growth and consistent action across the Health Center Advocacy Network, and to support health centers in securing resources to continue to provide care to their patients.
