Hi!  I'm excited that Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), FQHC look-alikes, and Rural Health Centers have been invited to join the Federal Nursing SIG.  I wanted to take a moment to shout out some accomplishments from a recent press release:

Community Health Centers serve a record 32.5 million people nationwide, or one in 10 Americans – a surge of nearly 1 million patients. The analysis, from NACHC, underscores the growing demand for affordable primary care services at a time when over 100 million Americans struggle to access a primary care provider.
