applicants under section 330 of the PHS
Act (42 U.S.C. 254b) to support the
delivery of preventive and primary care
services to the nation’s underserved
individuals and families. HRSA also
designates eligible applicants as Health
Center Program look-alikes. Look-alikes
do not receive Health Center Program
funding but must meet the Health
Center Program statutory and regulatory
requirements. Nearly 1,400 Health
Center Program-funded health centers
and more than 100 Health Center
Program look-alike organizations
operate more than 15,000 service
delivery sites that provide care to more
than 30.5 million patients in every U.S.
state, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the
Pacific Basin. Note that for the purposes
of this document, the term ‘‘health
center’’ refers to entities that receive a
federal award under section 330 of the
PHS Act, as well as subrecipients and
organizations designated as look-alikes,
unless otherwise stated.
