Bill > HR283

This resolution recognizes February 20, 2025, as Community Health Centers Day and commends the Georgia Primary Care Association for its significant contributions to healthcare in Georgia. The resolution highlights the critical role of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), which serve over 700,000 people in Georgia, including Medicaid recipients, uninsured, working poor, and other vulnerable populations. These health centers provide comprehensive services such as primary and preventive care, dental and behavioral health services, health education, and support programs, while contributing over $1.2 billion annually to Georgia's economy and creating 4,509 jobs. The resolution emphasizes the health centers' innovative approach, including establishing patient-centered medical homes, partnering with local healthcare providers, and working to reduce health disparities. By recognizing the Georgia Primary Care Association's efforts to expand healthcare access and improve health outcomes, the resolution also directs the House Clerk to distribute an official copy of the resolution to the organization, thereby formally acknowledging their valuable service to Georgia's communities.
