About Us

The National PCA Hub was created to:

  • Leverage the vast institutional knowledge and expertise of the S/RPCAs to achieve our missions of strengthening Community Health Centers and to understand how we can best align our work and be effective and efficient working together.  

  • Increase coordination, engagement, transparency, and accountability in the collaborative work of the Board of Managers and its strategic committees, with the goals of supporting them, reducing duplication of efforts, and achieving better integration. 

Who we are

  • Mission:

    Lead collaboration among Primary Care Associations (PCAs) and partners to strengthen health centers and the communities they serve.

  • Vision:

    To be the catalyst for collective impact.

Strategic Committees

The National PCA Hub is home to five Strategic Committees that bring together specialized expertise from across the PCA community. Working collaboratively, these committees strengthen national alignment, elevate shared priorities, and provide targeted support to PCAs and the health centers they serve. Together, they help drive innovation, coordination, and collective problem‑solving across the country.
