Community Health Centers: Chronicling Their History and Broader Meaning
In 1965 the nation’s first community health centers were launched as a small demonstration program as part of the President Johnson’s Office of Economic Opportunity. With roots in the both the civil rights movement and the War on Poverty, the earliest health centers had as their mission no less than using the health care system to change the health and lives of their communities’ residents. Today health centers have become part of the nation’s primary health care foundation, distinguished by their mission to community, the quality of their care, their affordability and accessibility to all community residents, and perhaps most uniquely, their community governance. All health centers have governing boards more than half of whom are patients of the health centers.

This program partners with organizations that have trusted relationships with uninsured individuals for a grass-roots effort to promote and maximize enrollment in Covered California Health Plans.

Communities across the state have a message for California:
"Health Happens Here"
In an effort to unite the work of The California Endowment's valued partners and grantees to change the perception of health in California, we encourage you to integrate the Health Happens Here brand into your organization's efforts. By working together under one unified message and delivering that message in a simple and repetitive way, we can change the way people think about health and build a stronger, more equitable, and healthier California.
