"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most inhumane." Health centers are crucial to our communities, serving over 31.5 million patients nationwide. Without them, many patients would have no care. TAG your Members of Congress sharing why you #ValueCHCs

Community Health Centers serve 30M patients that may not receive care otherwise. CHCs must continue to be supported by Congress because "lives are literally at stake!" 🏥 #ShareCHCStories about why you #ValueCHCs: linktr.ee/hcadvocacyteam
