CHCNI BACKGROUND

Community Health Center Network of Idaho, (CHCNI) was created on May 14, 2012 and currently consists of 14 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). 

CHCNI was created to support and strengthen Idaho FQHCs by bringing health centers together as a single organization. FQHCs collaborate with payers to balance the payer mix, raise visibility and credibility, increase coordination between health centers, strengthen their reputation as a hallmark of quality and cost efficiency/effectiveness and improve the health status of patients.

Historically, FQHCs have received federal and local funding to provide a broad array of health services to the uninsured and underinsured in their community.
