CHroniCles


Community health centers play a crucial role in today’s health care delivery system as the largest primary health care system for low income and medically underserved persons,and a key source of highly quality, accessible and high quality care. Starting in the 1960s with two health centers the community health center movement has grown into over 1,200 federally funded centers serving more than 18 million people in 2007 at 7,000 delivery sites. CHroniCles will document the vibrant, varied, and important history of every community health center in the country, as well as the health center movement as a whole. Every health center story is unique. By providing health centers a portal to tell their own stories, CHroniCles will celebrate - through written and oral histories, historic documents, photographs and other media - the special history of the health center movement and the vital role community health centers fulfill in American health care.
