How Financial Support During the COVID Crisis Affected the Federally Qualified Health Center Workforce
Description:
When the COVID crisis took hold in the US in early 2020, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) had to quickly modify the way they deployed their health workforce to ensure patients had access to COVID testing while maintaining continued access to high quality primary care. Facing possible closures, even temporarily, spurred policymakers to provide access to emergency funds. This study examined what funds were made available to FQHCs, estimated how much FQHCs received during the crisis to date, and how receipt of funding relates to any modifications in FQHC staffing, including the use of virtual services and ensuring access to care for patients, as well as ensuring their safety.
