Advocacy

We work tirelessly to support our member health centers and their patients.

CHC/ACT advocates for issues concerning the vitality of community health centers and their ability to serve underserved populations.

Please note: CHC/ACT advocacy activities are funded through membership dues and private grants.

The issues we advocate for include protecting and expanding federal funding, ensuring the HUSKY/Medicaid program works well for Connecticut residents and for health centers, and promoting programs that improve the delivery of health care.

CHC/ACT staff and FQHC board members and staff communicate regularly with federal and state officials, provide testimony at legislative public hearings, and participate with state appointed task forces to contribute to Connecticut’s future health policy plans.
