Community Health Centers are key to America’s primary health system. As federal and state budget priorities and policies shift, it is critical for Community Health Centers to rally support to promote access to the affordable, equitable, and innovative care for which we are known. By becoming an ACE you ensure that your health center, the patients you serve, and the community at large have a voice in the process and critical decisions being made by policymakers. Community Health Centers are renowned for excellent patient-centered care and efficient use of funding. In order for health centers to thrive, the same commitment must be given to integrating advocacy into the mission and operation of the organization.   By becoming an ACE, you can be confident knowing that your health center’s commitment to advocacy furthers the mission of our 50-year movement. You will also be joining a nationwide network of your ACE peers. We hold quarterly calls with all ACE affiliates allowing you a chance to support and engage with advocacy leaders.
