Our Projects: RCHN Foundation

The Foundation's projects concentrate on three areas of vital importance to community health centers and the people they serve: health care access, affordable prescription drugs, and health information technology. Our initiatives aim both to address the unique challenges that community health centers face today, and support the development of opportunities to sustain CHCs in the future.
