Minnesota Community Health Centers: Proudly Serving Communities Across the State

Thank you to the Minnesota Legislature, the HHS Policy and Finance Working Group, and the Governor for this historic investment in Community Health Centers.

ST. PAUL, MN, UNITED STATES, June 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- We are grateful to the Minnesota Legislature, members of the HHS Policy and Finance Working Group, and the Governor for investing in Minnesota’s Community Health Centers as part of the 2025 Special Session.

Minnesota’s Community Health Centers are committed to ensuring that every individual across Minnesota - regardless of their background or the challenges they face - has access to high-quality, affordable, and compassionate healthcare.

The Minnesota Association of Community Health Centers (MNACHC) represents the state’s 17 Community Health Centers (CHCs), which have been deeply rooted in the neighborhoods they have served for over 60 years. Community Health Centers provide comprehensive, preventive healthcare to over 170,000 patients annually across urban, rural, and Tribal communities, serving as a lifeline to those who may otherwise go without care.

Minnesota’s Community Health Centers believe that strong communities start with good health. Community Health Centers don’t just treat illness- they address factors that influence wellness. Minnesota’s Community Health Centers offer comprehensive, person-centered primary care services, including behavioral health services, substance use disorder treatment, dental care, food access, and transportation, to all individuals regardless of income, insurance status, language, or background.

At a time when poor health outcomes persist across our state, MN Community Health Centers focus on bridging healthcare gaps and building trust with patients. Community Health Centers are staffed by dedicated professionals who live in and reflect the communities they serve and understand the unique needs and strengths of their patients.

The Minnesota Association of Community Health Centers remains committed to advocating for policies and resources that allow us to expand our reach, improve outcomes, and prevent disease. Together, we are building a healthier Minnesota—one State, one community, and one patient at a time.
