๐จIf funding is not secured by the March 8 deadline, patients will lose access to efficient, low-cost, high-quality care from trusted health centers. #ValueCHCs ๐ท Call on Congress, send a letter, and share with your network.
Thank you again for contacting Congress about the Jan. 19 funding deadline! 43 days remain to win final passage of a long-term, stable funding bill. We hope you're willing to use your voice and influence to stand up for health centers!
Thanks to everyone who contacted Congress! A short-term bill passed extending health center & primary care workforce funding thru March 8. We urge Congress to pass a long-term extension that increases funding to close the #PrimaryCare gap.
