Fact Sheet: Meeting the Health Care Needs of Uninsured and Underserved Americans
Today, the President visited OneWorld Community Health Centers in
Omaha, Nebraska and discussed the success of Community Health Centers
in providing health care to medically underserved and low-income
individuals. In 2001, President Bush launched the Health Center Growth
Initiative and set a goal to significantly impact 1,200 communities
across the nation by supporting new or expanded health center sites.
The Administration has since exceeded that goal through the
President’s expansion initiative, funding 1,236 new or expanded health
center sites. We now have over 4,000 comprehensive sites across the
country. The Community Health Center the President visited today
became a federally-funded center in 2001 with funding from the
Department of Health and Human Services. -

And I want to thank members of Congress from both parties for understanding the importance and the vitality of community health centers.
