Chemists will tell you that covalent bonds — which share pairs of electrons between atoms — are the strongest bonds known to science. But as we mark National Health Center Week with the theme “The Chemistry for Strong Communities,” it’s clear that the bonds that unite the nation’s community health centers are perhaps the strongest known to social scientists.
According to the 2022 Chartbook from the National Association of Community Health Centers, more than 29 million Americans rely upon community health centers as their primary source of healthcare.
Since our partnership began, our practice has gone through a period of growth and development that mirrored eClinicalWorks’ expansion as an EHR company. After beginning our strategic partnership with eClinicalWorks, we expanded from 3 health centers to 11 health centers and 12 school-based clinics.
The ways that we were able to implement and use the EHR allowed us to improve care by assuring that all of our patients, no matter their location in the Urban Health network, were connected.
At eClinicalWorks, we are 5,000 employees dedicated to improving healthcare together with our customers. More than 130,000 physicians nationwide — and more than 850,000 medical professionals around the globe — rely upon us for comprehensive clinical documentation, along with solutions for telehealth, Population Health, Patient Engagement, and Revenue Cycle Management. Privately held, and driven by innovation and excellence, we have a single focus — providing our customers with secure, cloud-based solutions to their healthcare IT needs.
