Since the implementation of the ACA, Consortium member health centers have seen a 20 percent increase in the number of patients they serve.  This includes a 72 percent increase in Medicaid beneficiaries who for the first time had access to primary care.  In addition to access to quality medical, dental and behavioral health services, our patients now have peace of mind. Help us defend the ACA.
