TPCA created a COVID-19 Resources page that contains information and tools for health centers and the general public on a variety of COVID-19 related topics including TPCA’s COVID-19 Updates, human resources & operations, telehealth, and PPE.

This week, Congress returned to Washington, D.C. with only a few more legislative weeks before the Christmas holiday. On Tuesday, a bipartisan group of Members of Congress released a $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill as a compromise, but prospects of passage remain slim. At minimum, Congress will have to pass legislation to keep the government funded past the December 11 deadline, when funding for the Community Health Center Program, National Health Service Corps, and Teaching Health Centers Program is also set to expire.

Every community health center and Primary Care Association is invited to create a customized profile as part of the CHroniCles Project, an interactive, multimedia website dedicated to the living story of the health center movement and aims to honor the history of health centers across the country. If your health center doesn’t have a profile but is interested in creating one, please reach out to emily.waitt@tnpca.org.

TPCA is proud to recognize Phillip Tatum, Three Rivers Community Health Group, for his nine years of service on the Board of Directors.

Thank you for your dedication to our organization and our mission!

The Morehouse School of Medicine’s National Center for Primary Care (NCPC) Digital Health Tools Study is assessing the adoption and use of digital health tools (DHTs) by primary care clinicians serving underserved communities in four Southeastern states: Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

Despite tremendous potential for DHTs to aid in the advancement of health equity, our prior research has identified gaps in technology adoption that impact high disparity populations. The goal of the NCPC Digital Health Tools Survey is to assess how adoption and use of DHTs affect underserved communities and health disparities in this region.

Take the NCPC Digital Health Tools Survey and share your experiences with serving underserved communities in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Eligible participants will receive a $50 gift card for their time and effort.
