Puerto Rico’s Community Health Centers, Which Serve One in 10 Residents, Are Essential to Hurricane Recovery

Plug into Reform
A critical federal fund for community health centers is due to expire at the end of the current federal fiscal year on September 30.
A new report by researchers at the Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative is forecasting that community health centers would face a $48 billion shortfall in total revenues between 2018 and 2022 if Congress moves to repeal some key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and separately fails to renew the Health Centers Fund before it is set to expire in September 2017.
