Health centers will soon receive the 2013 National Survey of Federally Qualified Health Centers conducted by the Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation committed to improving the quality of health care for our Nation’s most vulnerable. BPHC is serving as a technical advisor to this project. This survey presents a unique opportunity to assess health center capacities as medical homes and reflect individual health center successes at the national level. The results will help inform the national dialogue on health care for America’s underserved.
This is not a HRSA survey and your participation is strictly voluntary. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Linda Lomelino at the Commonwealth Fund at 1-800-633-1986, ext. 4310 or llomelino@ssrs.com.
