Community health centers are more than a safety net—they’re a launchpad.

In this piece, KPCA CEO Molly Nicol Lewis highlights how Kentucky’s community health centers activate patients, remove barriers, and turn coverage into real, lasting health. When patients are empowered, communities thrive.

The gap between health care spending and outcomes should make us pause. Investing in patient activation is how a safety net becomes a launchpad.
