The CPCA Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN)

Awarded in the Summer of 2025, the CPCA Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN) is a cooperative three-year agreement that supports health centers in strengthening their data, technology, and quality improvement capacity to enhance care delivery and promote positive health outcomes. Funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), CPCA’s HCCN brings together a wide variety of participating health centers (PHCs) that share a commitment to leveraging data and technology to improve health outcomes, streamline operations, and prepare for the future of value-based care.

Our Approach

CPCA’s HCCN is designed as a learning network; a space where health centers collaborate, share best practices, and engage with colleagues and experts to solve shared challenges. Each participating health center works with CPCA to develop a tailored workplan aligned with network-wide objectives while reflecting their local priorities.

Participants also gain access to:

  • Training and peer learning sessions with subject matter experts and partner organizations
  • Technical assistance to improve reporting, quality improvement, and data use
  • Collaborative platforms to foster communication and shared progress tracking across the network

PHCs can visit the HCCN Connected Communities page to access updates, upcoming training opportunities, resources, and discussions.
