Who We Are

What We Do

Mission: To advance Florida’s Community Health Centers through resource development, partnerships, technical assistance, and increased community awareness.

Who We Are

The Florida Association of Community Health Centers (FACHC) is a private, nonprofit membership association dedicated to strengthening Florida’s health centers and advancing the primary care safety net to ensure all Floridians have access to high-quality, affordable healthcare. Established in 1981, FACHC serves as Florida’s federally designated Primary Care Association (PCA), authorized by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, FACHC supports health centers through education, technical assistance, resource development, and strategic partnerships that enhance organizational capacity and improve patient outcomes. By helping health centers address the full spectrum of patient needs, FACHC enables providers to focus on delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care.

In addition, FACHC also serves as the leading advocate for Florida’s health centers and the patients they serve, connecting health centers with policymakers and stakeholders at the local, state, and federal levels. Through its policy and advocacy efforts, FACHC amplifies the voice of Florida’s health centers and champions policies that strengthen access to affordable, quality healthcare.

Today, FACHC represents 55 health centers serving residents in all 67 Florida counties, across more than 750 locations, delivering care to more than 1.7 million patients through 7 million patient visits.
