Ending the Squeeze on Community Health Centers

Ending the Squeeze on Community Health Centers

In Connecticut, the ongoing under-funding of community health centers has reached a critical point, jeopardizing access to essential healthcare services for many residents. These centers, which serve as a lifeline for underserved populations, are facing significant financial pressures due to state budget constraints. The current funding model creates an illusion of savings while ultimately costing patients their access to quality care.

Community health centers provide vital services, including preventive care, mental health support, and chronic disease management. However, the lack of adequate funding has forced many of these centers to cut back on services, reduce staff, or even close their doors altogether. This situation disproportionately affects low-income families and individuals who rely on these facilities for their healthcare needs.

It is time for state policymakers to recognize the vital role these centers play in our healthcare system and take action to ensure they receive the funding necessary to operate effectively. Investing in community health centers is not just a financial decision; it is a moral imperative that will lead to healthier communities and a more equitable healthcare system for all.
