Missouri Primary Care Association (MPCA) Our mission: To be Missouri’s leader in shaping policies and programs that improve access to high qua

Recognized as the voice of Missouri’s Community Health Centers, we are a non-profit member association. We partner closely with our Community Health Centers, federal, state, and local advocates to support resources, programs, and policies that assure access to health care. Everything we do is designed to help our members provide the best health care services in Missouri! Missouri Community Health

Centers are local, non-profit, community-owned health care providers serving low income and medically under-served communities. For over 40 years, Missouri’s health centers have provided high-quality, affordable primary care and preventive services, and often provide on-site dental, pharmaceutical, and mental health and substance abuse services. Also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), they are located in areas where care is needed but scarce. They improve access to care for thousands of Missourians regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. Missouri’s Community Health Centers provide services through approximately 300 delivery sites in both rural and urban communities and serve as the medical home to 644,000 Missourians with nearly 2.3 million encounters each year – numbers that are quickly growing. Community Health Center patients are among Missouri’s most vulnerable populations. People who, even if insured, would nonetheless remain isolated from care because of where they live; who they are and their higher levels of complex health care needs. Recognized as one of the most effective programs by the Office of Management and Budget, Community Health Centers reduce the need for more expensive in-patient and specialty care, saving taxpayers millions of dollars.
