About the HCCN
The Health Federation of Philadelphia has been a HRSA-funded Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN) since 2012, and offers more than a decade of experience in providing network-level and individualized technical assistance, training and support, and leveraging resources to meet the evolving needs of Federally Qualified Health Centers and Look-alikes in Pennsylvania.
