Senate Resolution No. by Senator McMath designates May 27, 2025, as Louisiana Community Health Center Day at the Louisiana State Capitol. The resolution commends the Louisiana Primary Care Association (LPCA) and the state's community health centers for their dedication to delivering high-quality, cost-effective healthcare to underserved populations in Louisiana. Established as a nonprofit organization, the LPCA represents 41 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) that provide essential primary care services, including dental and behavioral health, to uninsured and underserved individuals across the state.

The resolution highlights the significant impact of community health centers, which have served over 503,000 patients and conducted more than 2 million visits in the past year. These centers not only emphasize wellness and preventive care but also contribute to the local economy by creating jobs and generating tax revenue. The FQHC model has resulted in substantial savings for the healthcare system and Medicaid program, while also striving to eliminate disparities in care based on race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. The Senate recognizes the vital role these health centers play in their communities and their commitment to improving healthcare access for all Louisiana citizens.
