Roughly 1,200 health centers currently operate about 9,000 service delivery sites where more than 21 million patients in the states, the District of Columbia, the Pacific Basin, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico receive care. These health centers are crucial players in the healthcare reform law’s implementation in both providing care and helping people find coverage through the new health insurance exchanges, according to an HHS news release.
Federal officials will also distribute $48 million to nearly 1,200 healthcare centers to support quality improvement activities and ongoing operations, according to the release.
