We will send additional bulletins regularly as we have new information available.

Latest News

We continually update our Health Center Program COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) webpage. We added these and other FAQs yesterday and today:

  • If health centers have a SAC/RD or BPR/AC progress report or supplemental reporting coming up, will there be a deadline extension?
  • Do health centers need prior approval from HRSA to temporarily close a site due to COVID-19?
  • Can health center governing boards conduct required monthly meetings virtually instead of in-person?
