Reaffirming support for Women's Health data elements
The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) remains steadfast in its commitment to advocating for and prioritizing Women's Health data elements. Recognizing the critical role that these factors play in shaping the clinical outcomes of community health center patients, NACHC continues to emphasize the need for comprehensive, accurate, and interoperable women's health data. By reaffirming our support for these essential elements, we aim to drive informed decision-making, policy development, and targeted interventions that address the root causes of health disparities. This underscores NACHC's belief in the transformative potential of this data in building healthier, more equitable communities.
