This resolution recognizes February 18, 2026, as Community Health Centers Day and commends the Georgia Primary Care Association for its significant contributions to healthcare in Georgia. It highlights that Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), which are community-based health centers that receive funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to provide primary care services in underserved areas, serve nearly 750,000 Georgians across 145 counties, including many who are uninsured, on Medicaid, or otherwise vulnerable, regardless of their ability to pay. The resolution also acknowledges the substantial economic impact of these centers, their role in recruiting and retaining healthcare professionals in needed areas, their cost-effectiveness in reducing emergency room visits and hospitalizations, their collaborative efforts with other health organizations, and their innovative approach to patient-centered care. Specifically, it praises the Georgia Primary Care Association for its leadership in expanding health center access, improving quality of care, reducing health disparities, and implementing new healthcare initiatives.
