When it comes to your healthcare, quality truly matters. Every year, community health centers across the nation—including Neighborhood Health Center—report essential data to the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA). This reporting tracks clinical outcomes, service use, staffing, and costs to measure the overall standard of care. Based on these details, HRSA awards quality badges to the top-performing centers.

This year, we are proud to share that Neighborhood Health Center earned seven HRSA quality badges:

• Health Center Quality Leader (Silver)
• High-Value Care
• Improving Health Care Access
• Preventive Health
• Advancing HIT (Health Information Technology) for Quality
• National Quality Leader in Heart Health
• National Quality Leader in Diabetes Health

In addition to being the highest-ranked health center for quality in Western New York, Neighborhood ranks in the top 20% of all health centers nationwide.

At Neighborhood, we regularly review our data to discover new ways to improve patient care. Some successful strategies we've put into action have led to improved diabetes A1c control, cervical cancer screenings, and childhood immunizations.

Reviewing quality scores is an excellent way to make informed decisions about your healthcare provider. You can explore the full rankings on the HRSA website, because choosing the right place for your care makes a meaningful difference.
