Qualified Health Center challenges
Economic slowdown
shifting demographic trends
shifting disease burden
increasing complexity of delivery of healthcare system
health and healthcare disparities
healthcare workforce shortage
rapid rate of technological growth
Health center impact
as of 2020 nearly 1400 FQHC's provide care at 13000 sites across all 50 states and
every US teritory
My Health GPS

- Vulnerability is influenced by social forces and therefore should be remedied by them
- Vulnerability is fundamentally linked with national resources
- Vulnerability and equity cannot coexist

medicaid
Minnesota uses several tools to screen for and treat adolescent depression
- MN still struggles with high rates of depression (43.4%) but 90% of adolescents who
had well-child visits also had some sort of mental health or depression screening
- Reporting and measurement systems continue to show positive influence on
preventive care quality measures of importance in public health
Injury Prevention and Control
Growing recognition of costs of injuries to a person and to society and of their
predictability and preventability helped promote the development of programs for injury
prevention and control in local and international health orgs
- JC helped aim to reduce # of fall related injuries in HC facilities
