Sen. Michael Bennet visited with Clinica staff and toured People’s Clinic on April 13. He and his staff spent nearly an hour learning about our important work in the community. During his visit, Sen. Bennet reaffirmed his support for community health centers and their patients.

13 days remain until the Health Center Funding Cliff becomes a reality. If Congress fails to act to fix the Health Center Funding Cliff - a 70% reduction to Program funding - 9 million patients that could lose access to care, 2,800 Health Center sites that could close, and more than 51,000 Health Center jobs that could be lost. We cannot afford to have Congressional inaction – lives are at stake!
Today is National Cliff Call-In Day - we are asking the entire Health Center Advocacy Network call their Members of Congress to deliver the Health Center message – demanding immediate action to fix the cliff! Be sure to THANK our Colorado Senators for already co-signing the Cliff Letter, and ASK our Colorado Representatives to co-sponsor HR 3770.
Make Your Call Right Now – by dialing the toll free Advocacy Hotline: 1-866-456-3949.
