#FQHCs
Anti-abortion lawmakers want to “defund” @ppfa.org & claim that federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) can absorb PP's patients.

Our new data shows it's unrealistic to expect FQHCs to serve the millions of people who rely on Planned Parenthood for high-quality contraceptive care. gu.tt/4jbE00U
Federally Qualified Health Centers Could Not Readily Replace Planned Parenthood

FQHCs (federally qualified health centers or community health centers) have had strong bipartisan support for their entire 60 year history.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk have cut off funding for half of the health centers that serve 400,000 Virginians, forcing some to close, which could mean up to 200,000 Virginians are suddenly without healthcare

6. Homeless shelters could be forced to turn away trans people. Universities could be forced to end inclusive policies in bathrooms, sports, name and gender changes. Nonprofits and FQHCs and Hospitals could all be targeted if they acknowledge or serve transgender issues.

Third, this company never talks about what the fee was used to fund: Produce Plus expansion, Joyful Food markets, Grocery Access Pilot program, FQHCs, etc.

The money is going right back to the very communities DoorDash claims will be harmed & in need of “protection.”

Title X funding is up for renewal next year and it will be open to CPCs but not PP. I’m not even sure if FQHCs will be allowed in.

Welcome, Queen. Thanks for standing up for FQHCs really worried I will lose my job.

Providers' #1 complaint about Medicaid is it doesn't reimburse enough. The family doctors and FQHCs are right. The hospitals and nursing homes are mostly lying. But all of them will close without stable, predictable base funding provided by Medicaid. Good luck making America healthy again!

If you’re someone with insurance, you should consider getting your healthcare at a local federally qualified health center because your payments subsidize care for uninsured people who need sliding fee scales and as more people become uninsured, FQHCs are going to need to serve more people

Can I bring your attention to non-profit healthcare? Specifically, FQHCs? HRSA is expected to award $50 million in FY25 to 77 new FQHCs in the U.S. to expand healthcare for the underserved. Primary care is the focus but most offer pharmacy, dental, mental health.

Thousands of hard working families in our communities get their care at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC).

Glad to have met with DAP Health, Health Center Partners SoCal, and leaders of local FQHCs to protect health care for underserved communities from potential cuts to Medi-Cal.

FQHCs serve people with no access to care otherwise because they are uninsured or severely underinsured, or in a vulnerable state such as recently immigrating or not having housing. Of the entire federally funded health ecosystem, Musk is targeting the most vulnerable people with the fewest options.

Community health centers provide care to more than 32 million Americans. That’s like the entire pop of GA, NC, and MI.

1 in 5 rural Americans and 1 in 3 people living in poverty use FQHCs.

They’re also huge employers in their regions, especially in rural America.
Related, Trump and Musk's "freeze" has closed a bunch of community health centers serving rural communities

I don’t think reporters read past the press release to the actual letter itself but it’s not “an investigation into Planned Parenthood.” They are also asking for data from ALL FQHCs and even a couple of indie abortion chains

This is one I was worried about. SAMSHA is an important org to fund and enable addiction services. States are not prepared for the loss of funding and support for CCBHCs and addiction services in FQHCs.

We were just turning the corner on the opioids crisis and now this.
Trump and RFK are destroying the agency that responds to mental illness and addiction. People tell me the opioid crisis is a big part of the reason Trump was elected. Yet here's the result.

As a community health nurse my greatest fear is that Medicaid & grant funding will be held hostage in order to make FQHCs & hospital systems comply with HHS to disclose information about vulnerable community members. People are already suffering!

Next up, hospitals, public health departments & FQHCs.

Now is a really good time for people to start researching FQHCs in your area for your medical needs.

Let's flood Ben Cline's phone and demand he protect Virginia's vital Federally Qualified Community Health Centers that have closed from the unlawful funding freeze. FQHCs provide medical services to 400,000 underinsured and uninsured patients throughout Virginia. www.vpm.org/news/2025-02...

Withholding healthcare funds- I mean, this should be obvious. States are entitled to this funding, and withholding it only leads to higher costs in the end for everyone, including the government for reimbursement of ER care at FQHCs.

Governor Meyer Awards Nearly $23 Million to FQHCs Through Rural Health Transformation Program - State of Delaware News (.gov)
GEORGETOWN – Governor Matt Meyer and the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) Thursday announced nearly $23 million in Rural Health Transformation Program funding for Delaware’s three Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) to strengthen health care delivery and improve access for the communities they serve. Westside Family Healthcare will receive $11.3 million, La Red Health Center will receive $10.1 million and Henrietta Johnson Medical Center will receive $1.29 million. The funding will support technology, workforce, care coordination, chronic disease management and other capabilities that help the health centers better serve their patients. “Delaware’s Federally Qualified Health Centers are on the front lines of providing care to people who need it most, and this investment will give them more tools to meet patients where they are,” said Gov. Matt Meyer. “We’re investing in the people, technology and services that can make it easier for Delawareans to get high-quality care in their own communities.” The funding is part of Delaware’s Rural Health Transformation Program, which includes 15 projects focused on expanding access to care, lowering costs, growing Delaware’s health care workforce and preparing the health care system for the future. Delaware received approximately $157.4 million in federal funding for the...

So proud of the work my Federal Qualified Health Center is doing, celebrating 10th year of the Benson school clinic. With big federal cuts to Medicaid it is even more important to support FQHCs
