State Legislatures

CHAD works to promote the benefits of Community Health Centers (CHCs) and the issues related to improving health care access and care in the Dakotas. Tracking health-related legislation and providing information and testimony to North and South Dakota legislators is part of CHAD’s policy efforts.

Hearing from local citizens and patients of a CHC is the best way for legislators and Congressional Delegates to understand the true value and benefits of the health center program.
