Community health centers (CHCs) provide essential prenatal, birth, postpartum, and family planning care for the nation’s most underserved communities. By mission and by law, CHCs must provide women’s health services to medically underserved areas and populations, including to low-income families, rural families, and those living in maternity care deserts. In 2022, CHCs served approximately 8 million women of reproductive age, or about one of eight women ages 15 to 44.
