We work tirelessly to support our member health centers.
The issues we advocate for include providing health care to the uninsured, homeless and other vulnerable populations who do not have a medical home, ensuring the HUSKY program works well for Connecticut residents and promoting programs that improve the delivery of health care.
CHCACT staff and FQHC board members and staff communicate regularly with federal and state officials, provide testimony at legislative public hearings and are participating with state appointed task forces to contribute to Connecticut’s future health policy plan.
