Many FQHCs only recently realized how broad the Section 504 digital accessibility requirements actually are — and that they extend far beyond just a website homepage.

In this article, we break down what health center leaders should know right now, common misconceptions, and practical next steps.
Health center dental programs can be one of the most valuable services you offer—but they can also be one of the most challenging to operate sustainably. Before expanding or making major investments, it's important to understand the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats unique to your organization.
