WHO WE ARE:
Since 1988, the Iowa Primary Care Association (Iowa PCA) has provided technical assistance and training to Iowa’s community health centers to support their ongoing commitment to provide quality, affordable primary and preventive health care to meet community needs. We are a non-profit membership association comprised of 13 community health centers and one migrant health program and are recognized as the trusted voice on healthcare, particularly concerning under-resourced populations. These organizations collectively support nearly 245,000 Iowans each year through over 810,000 patient visits.
Our work focuses on our mission of enhancing community health centers’ capacity to care with a vision of equity for all. Learn more about Iowa’s community health centers.
WHY COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS?
Community health
centers are the nation’s largest source of comprehensive primary care
for medically under-resourced communities and populations. Through an
integrated care model, including medical, dental, behavioral health, and
pharmacy services, patients are able to access comprehensive,
coordinated services often under one roof.
