About Us

Established in 1978, the North Carolina Community Health Center Association (NCCHCA) serves as the collective voice for North Carolina’s Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), also known as Community Health Centers (CHCs). NCCHCA membership includes 38 Federally Qualified Health Center grantees (including one migrant voucher program) and five Look-Alike organizations.

Our members offer a patient-governed, patient-centered health care medical home that integrates high quality primary care, dental care, behavioral health care, and support services at over 500 clinical health center sites in 88 counties across the state. In 2022, North Carolina’s 43 Community Health Center organizations cared for nearly 752,000 patients, 33 percent of whom were uninsured. By mission and statute, community health centers, also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), provide culturally sensitive, integrated care in medically underserved communities and to medically underserved populations.

Offering sliding fee discounts based on income, North Carolina’s nonprofit community health centers provide whole-person, comprehensive primary care, as well as behavioral health, dental, pharmacy, substance use disorder, and enabling services, all without regard to ability to pay.

NCCHCA is the HRSA funded state Primary Care Association (PCA) and Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN). FQHCs receive federal assistance for sliding-fee discounts to assure no one is denied access to care. NCCHCA represents FQHCs to state and federal officials and provides training and technical assistance on clinical, operational, financial, administrative, and governance issues. All FQHCs and FQHC Look-Alikes in North Carolina are members of the North Carolina Community Health Center Association (NCCHCA).

 

The North Carolina Community Health Center Association is comprised of membership from 38 health center grantees.

Going forward, NCCHCA is positioning Community Health Centers as the state’s largest association of primary care providers with support from Carolina Medical Home Network, our Clinically Integrated Network.

NCCHCA members work together to build a strong reputation for North Carolina's federally qualified health centers
