Rural and frontier geographies also face unique and varied health issues, especially when it comes to caring for their most vulnerable residents.

Federally Qualified Health Centers — commonly known as Community Health Centers, or CHCs — are often considered the backbone of the health care safety net. With support from state and federal grants, these clinics provide much-needed medical care to more than 740,000 vulnerable Coloradans all over the state. This year, for National Health Center Week, CHI is looking at some important developments in the past, present and future of Colorado’s CHCs.
