Dear Legislator, Community Health Centers (CHCs—also sometimes called Federally Qualified Health Centers or FQHCs) provide access to cost-effective, high quality primary and preventive care to Coloradans in your district and across the state. I hope this quick guide to Colorado’s 20 CHCs, which in-cludes important details, statistics, and contact information, is a useful resource during the 2016 legislative session and beyond.
Thank you for your commitment to ensuring access to health care and your continued support of CHCs.
My best for a fruitful 2016 legislative session,
Annette Kowal CEO Colorado Community Health Network _________________________________________________ The Colorado Community Health Network (CCHN) represents Colorado’s 20 CHCs that together are the backbone of the primary health care safety-net in Colorado. Since its inception in 1982, CCHN has made significant strides in ensuring that Colorado’s low-income working families and individuals have access to affordable, efficient, high quality primary health care.
CCHN is committed to: Educating policymakers and stakeholders about the unique needs of CHCs and their
patients; Providing resources to ensure that CHCs are strong organizations; and Supporting CHCs in maintaining the highest quality care.

About Colorado’s CHCs
CHCs are also called Federally Qualified Health Centers and receive this federal designation because they are governed by five core principles:
Are governed by community boards – at least 51 percent of board members must be patients
Operate as nonprofits or public agencies with a mission to provide health care to low-income, working families
Serve all patients regardless of ability to pay for services Are located in high-need areas Provide comprehensive primary health care
5
CHCs provide a health care home to low-income working individuals and families. CHCs also em-ploy more than 4,400 individuals throughout rural, urban, and frontier areas of the state. In addi-tion, more than 6,000 jobs in the community are created at companies who provide the CHCs with services, equipment, and supplies, and at the stores and restaurants where CHC employees spend their wages.

Cost-Saving, Quality Care Investment in CHCs results in cost-effective access to quality care, as demonstrated by:
CHCs are able to achieve the above through the coordination of care, use of evidence-based practices, behavior change coaching, and partnerships with other local health care organi-zations—a cost-effective, case management approach the State is using as the cornerstone of their Medicaid delivery model—the Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC).

After many years of dedicated work by Prowers County citizens, High Plains Com-munity Health Center (High Plains) opened its doors in 1995. The central goal is to pro-vide access to medical and dental care for this rural area located on the eastern plains of Colorado. Nearly half of the people in Prowers County (population 12,551) live in families with incomes below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. These are most-ly hard-working families that the local econ-omy can only support with slightly-above minimum wage jobs. High Plains’ mission centers around providing accessible primary health care to all, and particularly those who are unserved or underserved.

Access for All Colorado Colorado CHCs have a plan to increase capacity to care for one million Coloradans by 2020. This plan is achievable through federal, state, patient, and founda-tion support. The Access for All Colorado plan to increase CHC capacity will:
Help meet the health care needs of the uninsured now.
Provide access to the thousands of Colora-dans who have gained and continue to gain coverage under the Medicaid expan-sion and through the state health insur-ance marketplace.
Ensure that CHCs continue to care for indi-viduals that are expected to remain unin-sured after health care reform is fully im-plemented.
