By providing comprehensive and affordable services, they not only strengthen the health of individuals, but drive economic and systemic efficiencies that benefit all Hoosiers. A new analysis of 2023 data conducted by the Indiana Primary Health Care Association (IPHCA) and Capital Link, demonstrates this impact.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2023 Community Health Centers provided comprehensive primary services to 731,729 Hoosiers, 85% of whom are classified as low-income (below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level), and over 50% of whom are covered by <span class=\"xn-location\">Indiana&#8217;s<\/span> Medicaid program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Through these services, Community Health Centers provided significant savings to <span class=\"xn-location\">Indiana&#8217;s<\/span> Medicaid program.\u00a0 Based on recent research, patients of Community Health Center covered by Medicaid incurred 24% lower costs compared to patients in other settings, resulting in an estimated <span class=\"xn-money\">$943.7 million<\/span> in Medicaid savings in 2023. Additionally, Community Health Centers saved <span class=\"xn-location\">Indiana&#8217;s<\/span> overall health system an estimated <span class=\"xn-money\">$1.4 billion<\/span>, by reducing emergency room visits through preventative services and excelling in managing chronic diseases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Community Health Centers are the backbone of <span class=\"xn-location\">Indiana&#8217;s<\/span> healthcare system, ensuring access to care for all Hoosiers while generating tremendous cost savings for the State,&#8221; said [<span class=\"xn-person\">Ben Harvey<\/span>, CEO of IPHCA]. &#8220;At a time of critical debate on how to address <span class=\"xn-location\">Indiana&#8217;s<\/span> growing Medicaid costs, this report underscores the value of investment in primary health care as both a public health and economic strategy.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Indiana Primary Health Care Association and to view the full report, visit <b><a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4348055-1&amp;h=3075474706&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indianapca.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F01%2F2023-Value-Impact-of-IPHCA-cov2.pdf&amp;a=click+here\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">click here<\/a><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4348055-1&amp;h=1105772749&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indianapca.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F01%2F2023-Value-Impact-of-Indiana-Primary-Health-Care-Association.pdf&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indianapca.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F01%2F2023-Value-Impact-of-Indiana-Primary-Health-Care-Association.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.indianapca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2023-Value-Impact-of-Indiana-Primary-Health-Care-Association.pdf<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Logo &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4348055-1&amp;h=3519567501&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fmma.prnewswire.com%2Fmedia%2F2605826%2FIPHCA_Logo.jpg&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fmma.prnewswire.com%2Fmedia%2F2605826%2FIPHCA_Logo.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/2605826\/IPHCA_Logo.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  Indiana Primary Health Care Association<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"legendSpanClass\"><span class=\"xn-location\">INDIANAPOLIS<\/span><\/span>, <span class=\"legendSpanClass\"><span class=\"xn-chron\">Jan. 27, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; A new analysis of 2023 data conducted by the Indiana Primary Health Care Association (IPHCA) and Capital Link, highlights the transformative impact Community Health Centers have on <span class=\"xn-location\">Indiana&#8217;s<\/span> health and economic well-being.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"prni_dvprnejpgec4bleft\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"width: 100%;text-align: left\">&lt;img&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":269572,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-269571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269571"}],"version-history":[{"count":"1","href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":269573,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269571\/revisions\/269573"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
