National Association of Community Health Centers works with a network of state health center and primary care organizations to serve health centers in a variety of ways: 1) provide research-based advocacy for health centers and their clients; 2) educate the public about the mission and value of health centers; 3) train and provide technical assistance to health center staff and boards; and 4) develop alliances with private partners and key stakeholders to foster the delivery of primary health care services to communities in need.
