Overview
NACHC monitors and comments on regulations through a process known as rulemaking, which provides opportunities for the public to submit written comments in response to proposed regulatory changes. While any individual member can comment on a proposed rule, there is power in numbers, so our role as an association representing a large number of constituents can carry a lot of weight.
Furthermore, we create customizable template comment letters to enable more organizations to submit their own unique comments. This page will provide updates on opportunities to engage and comment on any rules affecting health centers.
