Meanwhile, the number of people without a primary care physician is also rapidly rising. As a result, use of community health centers (CHCs) across the U.S. is at an all-time high. With almost 1,400 centers located across the U.S., CHCs reduce patient barriers such as cost, lack of insurance, distance, and language.
When Vishal Ahuja moved from Chicago to Texas in 2014, he faced a frustration experienced by many families: finding a compatible primary care provider.
