Summary
The North Carolina Community Health Center Association is a membership association of community health centers (federally qualified health centers and federally qualified health center look-alikes) in North Carolina. NCCHCA’s mission is to promote and support patient-governed community health care organizations and the populations they serve. We support health centers through training and technical assistance, resource development, advocacy, and development of shared services.
Community health centers provide patients with an integrated care experience, with access to an array of services including primary care, behavioral health, oral health, and enabling services. Integrated behavioral health care blends care into one setting for medical conditions and related behavioral health factors that affect health and well-being. Integrated behavioral health care, a part of “whole-person care,” is a rapidly emerging shift in the practice of high-quality health care. NCCHCA is growing our capacity to support health centers in increasing and sustaining their integrated behavioral health services.
