Community HealthCorps Program
The Community HealthCorps program is a national AmeriCorps program that promotes health care for America's underserved, while developing tomorrow's health care workforce. The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) launched Community HealthCorps in 1995 to bring national service resources to community health centers, primary care associations and other organizations that provide primary care to residents of medically underserved areas. Today, over 600 Community HealthCorps members serve in 33 partner organizations at over 100 delivery sites across 18 states, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico. HealthCorps members serve both in rural and urban areas, meeting the needs of migrant farm workers, the uninsured and underinsured, and homeless individuals.
