Washington, DC - Community health center patients and advocates from across the state met in February with members of
the Massachusetts congressional delegation to provide an update on state health reform efforts and to voice support for
passage of national reform. Under current proposals at the national level, community health centers are poised to play a
major role in overhauling the country's health system by opening up access to high quality, cost-
effective and community-based care for
millions of uninsured Americans.
