Community Health Centers Inc.

Community Health Centers Inc., doing business as CHC- Copperview, is a tax-exempt, nonprofit federally qualified health center (FQHC) based in West Valley City, Utah, that receives federal grant funding to operate graduate medical education programs, health center infrastructure, and health insurance enrollment services as a prime recipient (89% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on Medicaid/CHIP outreach partnerships. The vendor competes exclusively in federal grant programs rather than contracts, with all recent funding flowing from the Department of Health and Human Services and its component bureaus.

CHC's grant portfolio centers on three capability areas: sponsorship and operation of accredited graduate medical education programs, health center operations and infrastructure, and community health access. The primary revenue driver is medical residency training. CHC received a $214,232 project grant from the Bureau of Health Professionals under the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Payment Program (CFDA 93.530) awarded March 1, 2026, to establish a new three-year Family Medicine residency program training 12 residents across three years to serve vulnerable and underserved populations in Utah, with anticipated training commencement July 1, 2025 and ultimate completion June 30, 2029. A second active residency grant from the Bureau of Health Professionals under the Primary Care Training and Enhancement program, awarded July 1, 2025, funds street medicine curriculum development and resident training for unsheltered populations, running through June 30, 2030. Earlier planning and development support came from a $500,000 Teaching Health Center Planning and Development Program grant (April 1, 2023) that successfully advanced CHC to ACGME accreditation by March 2025 and residency launch by June 2026. CHC also received Health Center Infrastructure Support funding from the Bureau of Primary Health Care (September 15, 2021, completing September 30, 2025), FY 2023 COVID-19 vaccination expansion funding (December 1, 2022), and a FY 2023 Bridge Access Program award (September 1, 2023).

Customer concentration is absolute: all eighteen awards in the portfolio derive from the Department of Health and Human Services, with eight awards from Health Resources and Services Administration components (including the Bureau of Health Professionals and Bureau of Primary Health Care), and two awards from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. CHC also acts as a sub-recipient on Medicaid and CHIP health insurance outreach and enrollment partnerships under the Utah Health Policy Project (prime grantee), contributing one full-time health access assister position in sub-awards dated July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2023. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $283.8 million; only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. CHC's footprint reflects a mission-aligned safety net provider model: the center serves over 35,000 patients annually (91% racial or ethnic minorities; 73% requiring services in languages other than English; 82% at or below 200% of federal poverty guidelines) across eight clinic locations, with integrated medical, behavioral health, substance use disorder, and dental care, and has provided community health center services continuously since 1979.
