CommUnityCare Health Centers has received three Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) badges from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The awards highlight the organization’s ongoing commitment to expanding access and improving health outcomes for Central Texans. 

CommUnityCare Health Centers earned the Silver Badge, Improving Access to Care Badge, and Advancing Health IT for Quality Badge for 2024. These distinctions recognize health centers nationwide that meet or exceed performance benchmarks in areas such as quality of care, patient access, and the use of technology to improve outcomes. 

The recognition comes as the CommUnityCare organization continues to grow and serve more patients than ever before. In 2024, the health system provided care for 143,421 patients, compared to 134,180 patients in 2023, an increase of more than 9,000 individuals. Nearly 97 percent of CommUnityCare patients live at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, underscoring the critical role the organization plays in ensuring access to care for vulnerable populations.
