Twelve NC Health Centers Awarded the 2024 Health Disparities Reducer Badge

Twelve of our members earned the 2024 “Health Disparities Reducer” Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) badges (for the 2023 reporting period). The list we published last week was not complete, as we neglected to include Lincoln Community Health Centers on this wonderful accomplishment!

Not only did these 12 health centers meet other benchmarks, including increasing access to care, they demonstrated significant improvements in clinical quality measures related to low birth weight, hypertension control, or uncontrolled diabetes across racial groups. Congratulations to:
