The purpose of the FY 2026 Health Center Program Service Area Competition (SAC) improves the health of underserved communities and populations by providing grants to support the delivery of comprehensive, high-quality primary health care in the United States and its territories. The Health Center Program is authorized by 42 U.S.C.
254b (330 of the Public Health Through the SAC, organizations compete for Health Center Program funding to provide comprehensive primary health care services in service areas and to populations served by the Health Center Program.
In alignment with the President’s Make American Healthy Again (MAHA) priorities, this funding opportunity supports health centers, which are trusted resources in their communities, to prevent and manage chronic illness and disease in rural and urban communities across the United States.
This includes: • Support for services integral to the prevention and management of chronic conditions in both children, adults, and older adults • Health and nutrition education • Patient support services such as services to support patients’ access to healthy foods and other resources that can address barriers to health and wellbeing These services are essential to both improving health outcomes in the populations served by health centers and reducing the costs of chronic disease.
Health Center Program awardees provide all services on a sliding fee scale and regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. HRSA considers the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model foundational for the provision of high-quality primary health care, with numerous studies documenting the benefits of PCMH to address chronic disease management, which further positions health centers to advance MAHA priorities. > 1.
