NCCHCA Overview
The Association was created in 1978 so that health centers across the state would have a collective voice. NCCHCA represents the interests of North Carolina’s health centers to federal and state agencies and officials. The Association also seeks the support of foundations, corporations, and other private entities towards the goal of increasing access to primary health care for all North Carolinians. NCCHCA's staff serves on state and national coalitions and task forces to foster collaboration, leverage resources, and avoid duplication of services. NCCHCA is a valuable resource to health centers, providing training and technical assistance in areas such as clinical service delivery, governance, workforce development, and administration. NCCHCA regularly presents workshops, trainings, and conferences to keep health center staff on the cutting-edge of effective and cost-efficient service delivery. The Association consistently analyzes key issues facing health centers and provides our members with critical information in a timely fashion. In addition, the Association assists communities aspiring to create new, or expand existing, health centers with sound planning, grant preparation, and launch guidance.
