What California Primary Care Association Advocates does
Mission
Cpca advocates, the advocacy affiliate of the california primary care association (cpca) advocates on behalf of over 1,300 california community health centers (chcs), is dedicated to advancing the mission of chcs through state and federal advocacy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Advocated on behalf of community health centers and clinics to pass four significant pieces of legislation to help support the clinic workforce and future growth. Ab 2860 and ab 2864 focused on expanding the mexican physician program to allow more physicians trained in mexico to come work at our chcs and provide care to patients in their communities. Additionally, ab 2703 resolved a longstanding issue relating to chcs being required to seek a scope of service change when bringing on a lmfts; the bill now allows a chc to have the option of pursuing a change in scope. Finally, sb 1382 will give chcs the opportunity to address another longstanding issue relating to building standards in hopes of removing barriers for future growth and to provide more access to care.
$4,372,375 spent$853,651 earned by the program100% of program spendingCpca advocates was able to save approximately $309m in cuts in the california state budget with its advocacy. The state was faced with a severe budget deficit and was looking at making drastic cuts impacting chcs. Our advocacy prevented many harmful cuts and preserved funding for chcs, particularly the funding to support our 340b supplemental payment pool.
Cpca advocates launched a public awareness campaign, "california community health centers and clinics, caring for every patient, strengthening every community," that developed a 30 second spot and 15 second spot that ran on digital platforms, highlighting the benefits of community health centers.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $1.0M to $2.3M (+132%).
