The selected community health centers — which represent all 50 states, U.S. territories and Washington, D.C. — will use the funds for programs to expand patient access to comprehensive care, improve care quality and outcomes, increase comprehensive care delivery in a cost-effective way, address health disparities, advance the use of health IT, and deliver patient-centered care.
HHS unveiled details of the quality improvement grants as part of National Health Center Week, which took place Aug. 12-18 this year. The commemorative week honors the role the U.S.’s nearly 1,400 health centers play in providing affordable primary care.
“Community health centers provide coordinated, comprehensive and patient-centered care to millions of Americans,” HHS Deputy Secretary Eric Hargan said in a news release. “They have a track record of delivering quality care at significantly lower cost and are vital partners in our movement toward a health system that delivers quality, affordable, value-based healthcare for all Americans.”
