SS2 - CHC Sustainability at Zero Cost: Changing the Future of Community Health Through the National Clinical Research Initiative - Solution Spotlight

The Community Health Clinical Research Corporation (CHCRC) delivers a transformative solution: permanent, sustainable funding for Community Health Centers (CHCs) at zero cost. By embedding and managing Phase II–IV clinical research directly into CHCs, CHCRC provides a new revenue stream that fortifies health center finances, advances equity, and brings cutting-edge therapies to underserved communities.

For over 60 years, CHCs have relied on temporary grants, government appropriations, and private donations—resources that create financial instability and force centers to operate in a constant cycle of uncertainty. With the looming “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) and projected Medicaid and 340B cuts, the need for sustainable revenue has never been greater.

This session will feature best practices from CHCRC’s national initiative, built in partnership with NACHC and multiple state PCAs. Attendees will learn how CHCs can:

• Generate hundreds of thousands in new sustainable annual revenue.
  
• Offset OBBB-related losses without financial risk or investment.
  
• Expand access to advanced care and clinical trials for underserved populations.
  
• Participate in QASEEP, a CHC-led quality, satisfaction, equity, and compliance program funded directly by CHCRC.

This initiative represents a permanent shift in how CHCs secure financial stability and improve patient care—empowering health centers to serve their communities with confidence for generations.
