The number of health centers has expanded in the last decade from 1,124 sites in 2010 to 1,375 sites in 2020 (2,3).

This report examines health center visit rates by various characteristics, like age, sex, insurance status, reason for visit, and services, using data from the 2020 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey-Community Health Centers (NAMCS-CHC).
