TPCA recognizes the need for policy makers at the state and federal levels to understand and support the high-quality, comprehensive care that Community Health Centers provide to patients, and we connect health centers with legislators to ensure that health centers are valued in Tennessee and in Washington D.C.
We provide a voice for community health centers in the state legislature by introducing legislation on their behalf, tracking policy developments, testifying at committee hearings, and educating legislators. At the federal level, we work closely with the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) to monitor legislation, submit public comments on regulations, and provide information to Members of Congress.
