Community Health Hub

“Primary exempt purpose: chh (dba thcen effective july 2021) became an educational and clinical learning consortium primarily composed of the founding teaching health center graduate medical education program award recipients. Chh dba thcen proposes to leverage the knowledge, experience and collaborative spirit of teaching health center graduate medical education program grantees to support existing, new and hopeful future thcgme program grantees to increase access to care and battle against the health and healthcare disparities that result from the growing shortage of primary care physicians in america. Chh dba thcen intends to provide ongoing educational support and peer learning for community-governed healthcare workforce development, with a specific focus on graduate medical education residency programs accredited by the accreditation council for graduate medical education (acgme). Its goal is to inspire, support and help facilitate the creation of new community-based primary care residency programs where they're needed most and to share best practices, promote excellence and provide a collaborative platform for existing programs at the national level.”

“The organization's mission: expanded on june 15, 2021 to extend beyond northeastern pennsylvania to all communities in the united states, community health hub's mission as reflected in the amended articles of incorporation is to support the improvement of the health and welfare of our communities and our nation. Affiliated with the wright center medical group dba the wright center for community health (twcch) and the wright center for graduate medical education (twcgme), community health hub (chh) supports the improvement of population health and wellness by promoting patient, family and community-centered programs and primary care workforce development initiatives to improve access to high-quality, non-discriminatory, comprehensive primary health services regardless of ability to pay. In furtherance of its broadened focus, chh expanded its affiliations to include the american association of teaching health centers (aathc), an organization that was founded in 2013 as the coordinating center for the teaching health center (thc) movement. The aathc supports and advances teaching health centers through networking, communications and educating medical professionals and the public. Aathc also engages in advocacy efforts to extend current thc funding and to establish a dedicated source for community-based primary care graduate medical education funding. Program service accomplishments: historically, community health hub (chh) was awarded a school-based health center (sbhc) capital development grant in 2015 through the health resources and services administration (hrsa). The grant provided $500,000 over a 2-year period to construct and equip functional sbhcs within the three school buildings of lakeland school district, a pennsylvania public school district that serves students in a predominantly rural area of lackawanna county. Originally, the intent was for chh to achieve designation as a federally qualified health center (fqhc) or an fqhc look-alike and to operate the upgraded sbhcs. Under that scenario, chh would have implemented a cost-effective model of care called the patient-centered medical home, in which a physician-led team of providers coordinated care in full collaboration with the existing medical staff employed by the schools and community physicians who care for students. This care delivery concept for chh evolved when twcch applied for and was awarded the federal fqhc look-alike designation, enabling chh to actively explore national opportunities to promote its mission. With its new affiliation with aathc, chh began the journey of transitioning its governance to reflect a more national identity to best promote its new national focus, and registered the fictitious name of teaching health center education network (thcen) in july 2021. Chh dba thcen evolved into a consortium of currently funded teaching health center gme programs, became affiliated with the american association of teaching health centers (aathc) and prepared for the opportunity to apply for notice of funding opportunity hrsa-22-107 related to the teaching health center technical assistance grant.”
