Published in 2015, the 50th anniversary of the Community Health Center model, this report reviews the health center record:
“Fifty years ago, the nation’s first Community Health Centers demonstrated that locally governed healthcare can improve lives while lowering costs. These pioneer Health Centers launched a national movement that today provides affordable, high-quality, primary and preventive care to millions of people and reduces the need for costlier forms of care. This enduring model of care has been and remains unique: mission-driven, located where care is most needed, open to all regardless of ability to pay, and governed by local patient-majority boards.”
