About IPHCA

Welcome to the Indiana Primary Health Care Association, Inc. (IPHCA). Organized in 1982, IPHCA has as its mission advocating for quality health care for all persons residing in Indiana, and supporting the development of community oriented primary care initiatives that are:

Affordable (based on income),

Available (delivered when needed),

Accessible (delivered where needed),

Appropriate (emphasizing continuous, comprehensive, prevention-oriented primary care), and

Acceptable (to everyone residing in the community, regardless of cultural heritage, financial status, or personal circumstances).

Included in IPHCA’s comprehensive definition of primary care are medical, dental, and behavioral health services.  IPHCA has a diverse membership that includes Community Health Centers, interested individuals, and organizations that support IPHCA's important mission.

IPHCA is the Primary Care Association for Indiana.  These associations exist in every state and U.S. territory.  IPHCA receives funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration's Bureau of Primary Health Care (part of the US Department of Health and Human Services) to monitor and advocate for access to primary care services throughout Indiana and to provide technical assistance to Federally Qualified Health Centers in the state.
