What We Do
OUR VALUES
MNACHC continues the promise of the community health center mission that was born out of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. We strive for a health care system where power and decision-making are equitable, reflect our communities’ needs, and people’s dignity and voices are respected. Every aspect of our work is rooted in principles of social justice, anti-racism and health equity.
The Minnesota Association of Community Health Centers (MNACHC), is the non-profit membership organization serving Minnesota’s Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) also known as community health centers (CHCs). Membership is open to all FQHCs and FQHC Look-Alikes operating delivery sites in Minnesota. MNACHC works on behalf of its members and their patients to promote the delivery of affordable, quality, primary health care services, with a special emphasis on meeting the needs of low-income and medically underserved populations.
