The mission of Oklahoma Primary Care Association is strengthening access to affordable, community-based health care. Founded in 1993, Oklahoma Primary Care Association (OKPCA) works on behalf of medically underserved patients and communities. We are the state's trade association for Community Health Centers (CHCs).
Community Health Centers, also known as health centers or federally qualified health centers, provide essential primary care services to Oklahomans in underserved areas. Community Health Centers (CHCs) are private nonprofits that serve all patients regardless of ability to pay, offer sliding fee scales to low-income families, and are governed by patient-majority boards that reflect the communities they serve.
Community Health Centers make up the largest network of primary care providers in America. Over 28 million Americans including more than 260,000 Oklahomans are served by CHCs each year. We're thankful for the entire medical team for truly caring about our experience and health.
In order to address the root causes of poor health, CHCs offer a one-stop-shop of integrated services under one roof like medical, dental, behavioral, vision, transportation, case management, and more.For decades, CHCs have been a bipartisan solution to issues concerning health care access, quality, and cost.

Community health centers are the backbone of Oklahoma's primary care safety net. CHCs provide low-income patients with sliding fee scale discounts and cannot refuse service to anyone based on inability to pay.
