affordable, comprehensive primary and preventive health care in our nation's
underserved communities, delivering value to, and having a significant impact on
America's health care system; and
Whereas, as the country's largest primary care network, Community Health Centers are the health
care home for 30 million Americans in over 14,000 communities across the nation. One
in every twelve people in the United States gets their care in a Community Health Center;
and
Whereas, nationally, over 1,400 health center organizations with over 12,000 service delivery sites,
Community Health Centers serve as beacons of essential resources and support in

offer reliable, affordable, high-quality care against COVID-19 for America's most
vulnerable and underserved communities; and
Whereas, Community Health Centers are locally owned and operated small businesses that serve
as critical economic engines, helping to power local economies by generating $54.6 billion
in economic activity in some of the country's most economically-deprived communities;
