Today, thousands of Indiana citizens will
need primary health care but won't be able to get it. They will suffer, and some may even die early due to lack of access to care. More than 700,000 Hoosiers are considered medically disenfranchised.
The Indiana Primary Health Care Association (IPHCA) works to ensure that all Hoosiers have a health care home - such as a Community Health Center (CHC) - where they receive quality care regardless of economic status, background, or location.
› IPHCA's MISSION: To champion the development and delivery of accessible, community-driven quality health care.
› IPHCA's VISION: A barrier-free, high quality health care system that's Affordable
• Available• Accessible • Appropriate • Acceptable
