Grassroots Advocacy

Speak up for community health centers

Congress is making decisions today that will shape the future of healthcare for years to come. Together, we can ensure policymakers understand how these decisions affect patients across the country who rely on health centers for care.

Our federal policy priorities

The 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program will force health centers to front the money for prescriptions, and patients could pay the price.

Protect the 340B Program

Support reforms that strengthen transparency while proteecting health centers and stopping the rebate model.
