Incorporated in April 1980 as the Minnesota Rural Primary Care Association, this organization was formed to assist with the development of primary health care in rural areas of Minnesota.
In 1984...the Association was renamed the Minnesota Primary Care Association (MPCA) to reflect the fact that our membership included both urban and rural health centers.
In 2004...MPCA became the Minnesota Association of Community Health Centers (MNACHC).
Our current membership consists of 17 Federally Qualified Health Centers that provide affordable health care services at 85 sites throughout the state.
