NACHC DIRECTORY & INFORMATION GUIDE

2018

Moving the Mission Forward. . .

i

Dear Health Center Colleagues:

On behalf of the NACHC Board, my thanks to you for your ongoing support and commitment to the Health Center Mission. In our work together, we have made possible the growth of a strong community- based system of primary care. Today that system is recognized as vital to the nation’s health as was reflected in the bipartisan support and recent passage by Congress of an extension of the Community Health Center Fund.

We have reason to stand proud. Across the nation, health centers are helping millions to better health and better lives. They are helping foster solutions to an array of diverse health needs, but also taking on a larger role in public health. Each day they are proving their immense value reducing health disparities, improving health, and lowering health care costs.

Moving forward into 2018, our goal is to build on our progress. Health centers continue to face a complex, challenging environment. The future demands greater collaboration and teamwork to ensure health centers remain at the forefront of leadership and surpass expectations in all facets of performance. Moreover, the future requires our unity and advocacy to ensure a strong collective voice for our patients and communities in the shaping of sound health policy.

The 2018 NACHC Directory & Information Guide is designed to help connect you with our NACHC team and colleagues, and to let us better serve you. We look forward to working with you and trust you will mark your calendar for NACHC’s conferences and trainings during the months ahead.

About NACHC:

In this role, NACHC represents and supports the collective mission and interests of the nationwide network of over 1,350 community, migrant, homeless, and public housing health center organizations, which serve over 27 million patients via more than 10,000 sites in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam.

S Who We Are

The Community Health Center Movement is a remarkable story of the human spirit and the passionate belief that we can improve the human condition. The program evolved as a bold experiment that harnessed the resources of the government and the creative thinking of a few reform-minded physicians, community activists and organizations to expand access to health care. In 1965, a small grant program was established under the federal Office of Economic Opportunity to help fund the Columbia Point Health Center in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and Delta Health Center in Mound Bayou, Mississippi. These two small demonstration projects served as the seeds of what has grown into the largest and most successful primary care network in the country, reaching 27 million medically underserved and 1 in 12 Americans.

What We Have Become

Numbers alone never tell the full story when it comes to measuring success, but in the case of health centers the evidence is significant. Health centers are invaluable assets. Health centers save the U.S. health care system $45 billion a year in reduced hospitalizations and visits to the ER. Health centers generate $26.5 billion in total economic activity. Health centers also foster stability – helping communities address a host of costly health, social and economic problems by looking beyond the medical chart and focusing beyond illness prevention by addressing the factors that may cause it. The community-based health center model of care did not set out to revolutionize health care delivery – but did so anyway. It did not aim to be a leading innovator in primary care – but became the primary care medical home model today emulated across the country. That is why health centers have earned broad public support and strong bipartisan support in Congress that has enabled their growth and development nationwide.

Health Centers Tomorrow

Health centers are expanding into communities and changing the health care experience. With the high-quality, patient-centered care that health centers provide, there is no one-size-fits-all approach, no cookie-cutter treatment plan. Today, with so much uncertainty about what will happen in health care, health centers remain anchored in their communities and stay true to their mission to provide affordable, effective health care to people and communities in need. Health centers remain a sound investment and the best prescription for our nation’s health.

Permanent Clinical PlacementRecruiting qualified and dedicated clinical staff is a continuous challenge for any health care provider including health centers. NACHC – through its Value in Staffing (ViS) program – offers health centers a portfolio of recruiting partners that fit a variety of health center needs while also offering their services at significant discounts to NACHC members. Comprising the NACHC ViS portfolio for permanent clinical placement are Merritt Hawkins & StaffCare.

Merritt Hawkins is one of the largest permanent recruitment agencies in operations today having filled more clinical job openings than anyone in the industry. In addition to being the nations leader in physician employment search and consulting services, they also recruit and place select mid-level and allied health, dental, and behavioral health professionals.

Temporary Clinical Placement The need for health care continues, even when doctors and nurses leave to pursue other opportunities. To continue delivering care, health centers often need to enlist temporary help. In other cases, temporary placement is needed while a permanent candidate search is being conducted by a health center. For all these reasons, NACHC has contracted with Staff Care and AMN Healthcare. They have successfully worked with many Federally Qualified Health Centers and Look-A-Likes to provide staffing assistance over the years.

Direct Technical AssistanceNACHC has a limited amount of technical assistance capacity to help CEOs and executive directors solve intractable problems that affect financial or operational performance. If you have an interest in finding out more about this service, please contact Dave Taylor at [email protected], for a confidential discussion about how NACHC can help.

EMERITUS GROUPThe Emeritus Group is a group of retired health center executives, who are available to build peer-to-peer relationships that allow them to informally share knowledge and experience with today’s health center and PCA managers. They share their expertise primarily through confidential phone dialogues in areas such as board relations, financial crises, human resource management, succession and retirement planning, and much more. For general information about the Emeritus Group, contact Dick Bohrer at 301-347-0400 x 2006 or by email at [email protected].
