America’s Health Centers in 40 years have produced a model of health care that has demonstrated this nation can meet compelling health needs while containing health care costs. The health center legacy proudly shows the value and vast potential of a community-based health system that is lifting the barriers to health care — safeguarding health — revitalizing communities — and keeping people healthy at cost savings for the nation."
