National Health Center Week

Celebrating Community Health Centers

Community Health Centers are the backbone of healthcare for millions of people across the country.

Every day, health center teams expand access to care, address growing behavioral health needs, and improve the health of their communities despite workforce shortages, rising demand, and increasing operational complexity. During National Health Center Week, we're proud to recognize the incredible work Community Health Centers do every day.

To our partners and to health center teams across the country, thank you. Your commitment to whole-person, community-based care changes lives, and we're honored to support your mission.

Stronger Together

Behavioral health is essential to delivering whole-person care, but meeting growing demand takes more than additional providers. It takes the right partnership.

Ascend works alongside Community Health Centers to strengthen behavioral health through integrated telepsychiatry, therapy, substance use disorder services, and operational support that fit seamlessly within existing primary care models. Together, we're helping health centers:

Expand access to behavioral healthcare

Reduce wait times

Support care teams

Improve patient outcomes

Build sustainable behavioral health programs

Measurable Impact

Partnership in Action

Every Community Health Center is different, which is why every Ascend partnership is built around the unique needs of each organization.

One example is our work with Adelante Healthcare, where we helped redesign and scale behavioral health services across a nearly 90,000-patient population, resulting in:

Behavioral health engagement reached nearly 21%

More than 85,000 annual behavioral health visits

Sustained same-day behavioral health access

Program revenue growth from $6.4 million to $21 million

“Ascend helped us close care gaps, expand access, and build a sustainable behavioral health program that truly serves our community. Their clinical team feels fully integrated into our staff, and their operational expertise has been invaluable in navigating the complexities of FQHC behavioral health delivery.”
Pedro Cons
CEO, Adelante Healthcare
